The subject has covered virtually all which needing to be discussed and said; whilst all have been prattling on Industry Management has been seriously lobbying, negotiating with Government to circumvent due process to allow the use of foreigners to take Australian Jobs.
Little mention will have been made of industry failure to ensure sufficient Australian pilots have been trained or of the abysmal failure of CASA’s role ensuring a viable aviation industry able to support a sustainable training system.
Nor will any airline operator management mention the looming shortage is not something which just happened but has been known and forecast for ten (10) years or more,
The question now remaining is what are pilot s going to do about this?
Airbus:

In its first Global Services Forecast, Airbus has predicted that the number of new pilots needed by the year 2035 will top 560,000.
The report shares that the total number of active pilots needed by the year 2035, along with the need to replace flight-crew who retire during the next 20 years, will result in the need to train as many as
560,000 new pilots over this period. In terms of technical staff needed, the Airbus GSF predicts a requirement to train approximately 540,000 new technicians.

Employers will keep trying, sparing no expense not to raise terms and conditions which is why pilots (and others within the aviation industry) need to get the pen out, the phones ringing berating your local MP and Senators.
If we do not no one else will but the employers will continue to circumvent, abuse and manipulate the rules/system any way they can for THEIR, and ONLY THEIR benefit!
