Metro Man.
Tell that to all the Indians who can't get jobs in their own field and end up driving taxis.
As I understand it, they are here on a Visa that enables them to complete an approved tertiary degree, then have eighteen months to gain professional experience in order to qualify for permanent residence. They are not protected by Immigration minimum income regulations, only by Australia industrial legislation.
I believe there are over 30,000 Visa holders in this category, many who can't gain employment in their chosen profession. Many have "degrees of convenience" and are totally unsuited to employment in their profession. Eventually the Minister for Immigration must sort out that embarassing mess.........
Andy, I didn't miss your point that the current Government insists on micro managing every aspect of our lives, just clarifying that in theory at least, overseas workers can not be exploited financially.
