Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. The minister stated that two per cent of employers sponsoring 457 visa holders are currently under investigation by her department. Doesn’t that equate to 200 employers who are currently under investigation for breaching the laws on 457 visas? Just how many 457 visa workers were employed by these employers, and how can the minister provide a reassurance that the system is properly protecting workers on 457 visas?
