What I'm trying to establish is, firstly, how robust would any labour market testing be, given that it is a matter of discretion for the minister? And, secondly: how many overseas workers can come in without having to go through labour market testing? If a mining company in Western Australia, in the resources sector, wanted to use a Chinese company to build an extension to the mine, would that be covered by labour market testing?
