In relation to the previous answer, I can also advise that I understand that the Attorney-General has released a consultation paper in relation to the drafting of those laws, so that process is underway.

In terms of your question on awareness for temporary visa holders of their rights, I understand from the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs that they are already increasing awareness for temporary visa holders of workplace rights and entitlements, including through inclusion of information in visa grant notices and through additional follow-up whilst visa holders are in Australia via multiple communication sources. This includes sending information via hard copy, SMS and the utilisation of social media platforms.
