Hi Susan,

I read the Ministers press release. The fugures does not gel. There are over 500,000 workers holding 457 visas and more are entering annually on 457. Based casual data, at least 120,000 of these 457 would apply for PR stauts annually. Can the system cope with this sort of figure when the migration program has caliberated for only 117,000 migrants annually.

Mind bogling
