My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Abetz. Can the minister confirm that the China-Australia free trade agreement will permit temporary migrant workers to be employed on development projects worth over $150 million? Will employers be required to test whether suitable Australian workers are available before they employ Chinese workers on these projects?
