【澳大利亚】澳大利亚政府取消457临时工签证

Australian government to replace 457 temporary work visa

The government will replace skilled 457 visas with a new category to give Australians priority for Australian jobs, Malcolm Turnbull said in a shock announcement on Tuesday.

Turnbull used Facebook to announce the policy, which he said would "put jobs first" and "Australians first", signalling a reduction in the occupations available to skilled foreign workers and raising the threshold to qualify.

"Australians must have priority for Australian jobs - so we're abolishing the 457 visas, the visas that bring temporary foreign workers into our country," he said.

    马尔科姆·特恩布尔周二表示，政府将取消457签证并采取新的方法以保证澳大利亚人在本国的就业情况。

    特恩布尔在Facebook上宣布了政策，他说明了"以就业为先"、"澳大利亚人优先"的相关内容，表明可以削减外籍员工岗位，提高入职门槛。

    他说："澳大利亚人必须优先考虑澳大利亚国内的工作情况--所以我们正在废除这项可以把临时外国员工带入我们国家的签证。"
