The Turnbull Government’s changes to 457 Visas must stop the NSW Government contracting out vital public services

The Public Service Association (PSA) says “the Turnbull Government’s changes to 457 Visas must stop the NSW Government contracting out vital public services then replacing full time local jobs with ‘temporary’ overseas workers.” PSA General Secretary Stewart Little says “skilled experienced local workers in full time employment are being thrown on the jobs scrapheap by the NSW government through its mass privatization program and replaced by foreign workers on ‘temporary’ visas. Is the revamped system going to stop the NSW government from bringing in more workers on low pay as it did following the privatization of ServiceFirst?”
