The Australian Immigration Service, under the leadership of Minister PeterDutton, has been living in the headlines of the Australian media! To reform, but to be beaten in the face! But this kind of "slap" in the face, is not the first time!
According to Australian media reports, the previous battered 457 visa was again pushed to the forefront of the storm!
Indeed, the world's largest job search engine, has released the latest data, warning the Australian government that the cancellation of the 457 visa has seriously threatened the survival of the Australian service industry.
Indeed said the Australian government has imposed the strictest regulations on the foreign labour force, abolishing 457 visas, and since the announcement of the policy, global search for Australian work has fallen by 10%.
At this rate of development, 10 years later, the Australian labour market at least a gap of at least 120000 people!
Especially hotel, restaurant industry, in the future will face no chef available, no manager management of the awkward situation!
In April, Australian Prime Minister Tam Po officially announced the abolition of the 457 visa, saying it was to protect and give priority to the local labour force!
Australian media said it was because the Australian government cancelled its 457 visa that top chefs such as Oliver (JamieOliver), the British chef, were forced to leave Australia, not to mention the chefs and lobby managers in ordinary restaurants.

According to the data, the number of service job searches in the Australian hotel industry increased by 78% in the 4 million job surveys conducted in 2017.

Most of the search sources are from English-speaking countries such as the UK!
Instead of non-English-speaking countries such as China and India, Australia still has a large number of job openings even with 457 visa cancellations.
And, at present, there is a shortage of labor in many industries in Australia.
As of September, Australia had 96000 expatriates, with about 25 percent of Indians, nearly 20 percent in the UK and 6 percent in China, according to immigration.
Indeed spokesman Chris McDonald said the Australian government's cancellation of the 457 plan made it difficult for Australia's catering and hotel industry to continue to provide high-quality services and that the reputation of Australia's gourmet countries would collapse.
At the same time, some non-Australian employers say that Australia's local labour force is far less excellent than overseas employees!
FedericoSirito, a restaurant owner, said Australia's local workforce lacked a steady sense of work and called on sick leave twice a week.
If not for the special requirements of our restaurant, it is now difficult to recruit employees, a lot of Australian employees should have been fired!

For some high-end restaurants and hotels, the industry generally believes that the Australian workforce lacks a high level of education and service awareness.
Australian media say this is not only a huge loss to Australia's hotel and catering industry, but also a serious drag on Australia's economy over the next decade due to a lack of labour.

The Australian Government should take advantage of the fact that the gap is not so large, and as soon as possible, re-open the old policy and re-open 457. Otherwise, the gap in Australia's work can only become a bad cycle of death! "
According to Australian media's latest release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), there has been a marked decline! It fell to 1.8%, below market expectations. Meanwhile, Australia's unemployment rate is 5.5%, up from 5%.
The form is grim!
Now, the call to reopen the 457 is getting louder and louder, as employers' frustration with declining Australian labour levels and the difficulty of recruiting high-quality local workers become increasingly difficult, is the plot really going to turn around?
