WA's Small Business Minister Margaret Quirk has called on the Federal Government to tighten up a temporary work visa scheme, amid concerns that some workers may be being underpaid.
Ms Quirk, who is responsible for skilled migration to Western Australia, said the 457 visa scheme allowed temporary entry to foreign workers to fill particular skilled vacancies that could not be filled by local workers.
