Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has accused Opposition Leader Bill Shorten of what he calls "breathtaking" hypocrisy over proposed changes to Australia's 457 visa program.


Australia's 457 skilled-visa program is once again under attack.



The 457 visa program allows businesses to employ skilled migrants for up to four years in jobs where there is a shortage of Australian workers.

 

Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has called for a crackdown on the use of foreign workers as part of an Australia First policy push.

 

But the Prime Minister says Mr Shorten's record as a former Labor employment minister tells a different story.
