The final report of the Baird Review on legislation governing international education shows support for recent Government immigration policy changes.
The minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Senator Chris Evans has released a public statement confirming the Governments position that the 457 Visa programme should only be used when employers are unable to find the skilled workers within Australia.
