The Australian Council of Trade Unions says the federal government isn't doing enough to address what it says are serious problems with the 457 temporary visa system.

 

The ACTU says the government should be tightening entry requirements for 457 visas holders, not relaxing them as planned.

 

President of the council Ged Kearney spoke to Van Nguyen.
