I will call you out on this!
Most 457 are from India or surrounding countries and yes it is "customary to look after family" by sending some money (a lot in local money for them).
But I can guarantee you from what I see the goal is to get
PR (permanent residence) followed by Citizenship and get family members to Australia not send money back "home".
Most of these are not in aviation but in IT and Medical and many actually studied in Australia for many years at a massive cost to their parents.
*** Now I am happy to talk exact fact and figures on this subject if you are willing to listen and "understand".
