Australian PM Targets Imported IT Workers

beaverdownunder writes "A debate 'down under' has started to rage surrounding the importation of 'temporary' IT workers on so-called 457 visas, with the Prime Minister promising to bring in tough new restrictions on foreign workers in a pre-election pledge, despite evidence that there are insufficient numbers of Australians to fill the skills gap. Some quarters argue the foreign workers are necessary to drive growth in Australia's IT industry, while others have cited examples where large Australian companies have imported workers needlessly, displacing qualified Aussie personnel."

You politically-correct fanatics are worse than witch hunters, religious inquisitors or McCarthyists. Looking for evidence of "racism" where it doesn't exist just so you can give your life some meaning by going into attack mode.
