Now that I have some more information to identify the source of the question—the newspaper reports referred to by Senator Ludwig—I can say that, on the advice I have, both visa holders and the employer have provided false and misleading information to the department. The visa holders were happy to go along with this employment relationship until it broke down. It was only then that it came to the attention of the department, the Workplace Ombudsman and the New South Wales police. The investigation is now with the New South Wales police. In those circumstances, I will not comment any further.
