The Rudd Government has appointed industrial relations commissioner Barbara Deegan to examine the integrity of the temporary skilled migration program, the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship Senator Chris Evans announced today.
Evans says Deegan will address concerns about the exploitation of migrant workers, salary levels and English language requirements.
"Ms Deegan will draw on her extensive expertise in the industrial relations sector to review the Temporary Business Long Stay subclass 457 program and provide options to improve the integrity of the scheme," Senator Evans said.
