Abul Rizvi thinks Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil will this week release a new migration strategy, which follows the results of a review into Australia’s migration system headed by former Secretary of PM&C Martin Parkinson.
The AFR flagged that the review included in its recommendations reducing red tape for employer-sponsored visas and the end of some labour market testing rules.
O’Neil said in a statement to The AFR that “a backlog of 1 million unprocessed visas in the middle of the biggest labour shortage that we have experienced in 70 years, a system that is rife with exploitation of migrant workers, is not working for business, not working for migrants and not working for Australians”.
