IF: ".....So get over it and wait until it's Labor's turn again!"

Won't happen IF, PPTSD is a long term nagging complaint and produces a like reaction, and honestly I do enjoy a daily Abbott dissin  mixed with ancient history, and then there is the Mopic / Cyclopic pink teeth gnashing !

LL: "the 457's tone has in mind are low paid unskilled workers for gina (and i managed 10/10 picking gina's statements from ayn rands yesterday)"

Let's examine that:
"low paid unskilled workers"  Actually the 457 scheme is called the 457 skilled worker visa programme. "The 457 skilled migration visa programme must be well-managed, providing rapid access to skilled workers not available in the Australian labour market, with strong compliance action to assure high standards of programme integrity,”

"low paid unskilled workers for gina" The ALP approach:
The Immigration Minister, Chris Bowen, and the Minister for Resources, Martin Ferguson, actually gave 457 approvals to Gina Rinehart's Roy Hill development in Western Australia

"Through cabinet, the government agreed last year on a policy to introduce Enterprise Migration Agreements, a category of 457 visas that would allow the importation of skilled labour for specific projects. This was because the Roy Hill project needed 1,700  workers  more than the 6,400 accounted for. However, with the mining boom downturn the Roy Hill manager, "Barry Fitzgerald, says the economy has slowed down and the project may no longer need to employ overseas workers under a Federal Government agreement set up last year."
