In a bid to protect Australian jobs, the number of skilled migrants allowed into Australia is being slashed.
In a sign of the times, the permanent skilled migration program is being slashed by 18,000 over the next three months, with no foreign bricklayers, plumbers, carpenters or electricians allowed in for the foreseeable future.
