Coalition opens sluice gates to coolie tide - easier rules for foreign workers; Government will make it easier for employers to import workers on the 457 skilled visa scheme

The federal government will make it easier for employers to import workers on the 457 skilled visa scheme, including relaxing the English language requirement, and introduce tougher rules to stop rorts.
The changes include softening the English language test so it allows an average mark rather than the current minimum in each test area of reading, writing, comprehending and speaking English.
“The English language requirements are unnecessarily restrictive, serving more as an industrial lockout rather than an honest attempt to ensure appropriate language skills,” he will say.
The government plans to lower from $250,000 to $180,000 an income threshold that requires workers are paid the same rate as Australians in the same job. Employers won’t have to provide evidence that pay rates above this level are in line with market rates.
Most of the visa holders are actually employed in areas like hospitality, health care, telecommunications and professional services.
The actual reason why they want to keep relaxing 457 visa’s and keep the flow of foreign students is for one reason only, CHEAP LABOR.
These people especially from the 3rd world won’t put up any fight when it comes to trying to get higher wages, in fact they will settle for any wage as long as they can get PR into Australia. They won’t ask for holidays or any other worker rights.
And you are to blame, first many voted Nats (Labor is more or less the same instead of minor parties that want to protect local people and jobs)
Second, many of you also support the big business that lobby for these workers such as NAB, ANZ, WestPac, Commbank, ever noticed the changing demographic in these places ?
Australian’s need to get of their asses and start to target these multinationals. I would suggest first hitting ANZ, everyone that reads this website or has friends, move your accounts to local banks such as credit unions and break the multinational cycle. Even if smaller banks sometimes use foreign labor at least they don’t have the lobby power as the big banks do. It will also panic the government to see one of the big 4 have a mass withdraw.
It’s really up to you, but yea, to lazy to be bothered right, easier to just complain and do nothing.
Our kids are stuffed sorry to say, they now have to compete with cheap 3rd world labor, they will get none of the benefits of living in a western country, but they will get all the disadvantage.
Stop supporting multinationals and try to break the cycle, move your money out of one of the big 4 banks who often lobby for cheap labor and more immigrants, who often use the excuse that they need more skilled workers in the country which is double talk for, our workers know their rights, want to much.
I’ve seen entire highly skilled teams made redundant by 457s.
What’s more the employer that sponsored the 457′s then ended their sponsorship midway, sending the entire 457 team to work offshore from our Indian office where they came from.
The jobs went offshore, only after being facilitated by the 457s working for 1.5 years with the local employees who trained them, and who are now without jobs.
At first i wondered why would the company willingly end the 457s, then the pieces of the puzzle all came together.
I’m so afraid my team might be next that I haven’t asked for a payrise in the last 2.5 years. Real wage falling yep, I can identify with that statistic.

It's always on the cheap with you isn't it frank. Cheap flooders, cheap arse holidays to former asian war zones, cheap building practices. Is that just a part of your nature, or is it because being a landlord with bottom rung IPs doesn't afford you another option? The latter I would wager.
Shadow was hopelessly wrong about the Gold Bull Market. What else is he wrong about?
