My question is to the Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs, Senator Vanstone. Can the minister explain what powers she has under migration law to approve labour agreements that allow employers to undercut the legislative minimum salary rate for 457 visa holders? Has the minister approved any applications for agreements with employers that provide for salaries below the statutory minimum? If so, can the minister indicate whom those agreements apply to?
