Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs David Coleman has said Australians have benefited from the recent visa reforms which saw the abolishment of the 457 visa and introduction of a new harder to obtain temporary skill shortage visa that lets overseas workers be brought in on a temporary basis.
The 457 visa was amended and later abolished to be replaced by a new Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa in March this year.
The minister on Wednesday attributed the growth in new jobs to the government's visa reforms.
