Increase. Do know how many darkies you can house in a 20 ft x 20 foot tin shed? A bloody lot! And you can charge them more than their wages for board. This also helps keep wages low.

Increase, but also increase government investment in training citizens for the jobs where domestic labour supply is insufficient.

Actively manage the number of temporary work visas issued according to whether or not there are genuine shortages.

 @9PLHYF2answered…6mos6MO

Increase as long as qualification and education standards are l, at minimum, to what is provided here and that they have the same values as Australians.

 @9HH2J8Xanswered…1yr1Y

Alter but maintain the same numbers. Many work visas are not for critical areas or in occupations with shortages.

 @9G3HCKJanswered…1yr1Y

Neither increase nor decrease, however companies should aim to train/hire skilled workers who are already in the country

 @9QZJSXKanswered…5mos5MO

Education and training for citizens should be increased and skilled visas decreased as our own skills shortage is resolved. Imported labour is too susceptible to exploitation.

Increase, but there should be legislation to stop companies from taking advantage of this program to decrease wages
