Temporary work visas are the outworking of three failures: 1

The failure of long term training of Australian workers. 2. The government being seduced by the corporate sector to produce a short term solution to a long term problem, (where employers have shown a propensity to exploit foreign workers), and, 3. A failure of Government Social Welfare, where the unemployed are given too much freedom to discriminate in work they reject because they can balance any shortfall with an increase in government benefits.
