My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management, Senator Ruston. In recent days, the Morrison government has announced significant changes to the working holiday maker scheme and arrangements for foreign workers. The United Kingdom's Department for International Trade has published a glossy document boasting that 'Aussie firms will no longer have to prioritise hiring Australian nationals first'. Why is the Morrison government taking jobs away from Australians and giving them to UK citizens?
