Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Given the minister has acknowledged that the department is considering sanctions against the companies involved, and has in fact notified them that other actions may be considered, can the minister tell me how many 457 visas have been issued to workers for work at these companies since concerns were first raised with either the minister or her department, and can the minister confirm the claim by the company that it has recently had a further twenty-one 457 visas approved? Will those visas now be reviewed in light of the breaches that have occurred and that she has admitted to?
