    At any given point in time, somewhere in the world someone is working on a Land-Rover.

Their jobs are 'made redundant' but soon become new positions filled by a 457 person on half the wages.
    Rort fears as 457 visa loophole reopened
    126,000 457 visas granted in 2012/13, how can this be allowed to continue with so many Aussies being layed off

    The other thing is how the hell are we supposed to work till we are 70 if the government is allowing so many foreign workers to come in and take all the jobs!
    Yep. Similar happened to me.
    They sacked all the locals and kept the 457's. Oddly, a lot of the locals have gone overseas.
