The Aussies have been very jumpy about immigration, in particular from India and China, you can visit many forums (Aussie users) and they talk about demographic invasions and how neighbourhoods have been transformed.

Bottomline is that every nation should try to develop themselves rather than outsourcing the employment of their citizen as the responsibility of developed nation..Again, country like India should take it as an oppertunity to reshape their policy in future..

i don`t know how it may put us in disadvantage but India should put all restriction on visit to aus for tourism, students and everything else. No need to go where they don't want us. Put restriction on their businesses in India too.

I do see from the aussies point of view. In Adelaide where you used to stay. Almost every cabbie is an Indian. Who came to Australia on student visa and now refuses to leave the country.whenever I hire them they always used to ask me is I got an opening in some software company. This is sometimes irritating. I feel pity at the same time annoyed.

What is your source?

From a 2017 article:

Australian government to replace 457 temporary work visa
Prime minister Malcolm Turnbull says he is ‘putting Australians first’ by giving them priority for jobs currently open to overseas workers

The government will replace skilled 457 visas with a new category to give Australians priority for Australian jobs, Malcolm Turnbull said in a shock announcement on Tuesday.

Turnbull used Facebook to announce the policy, which he said would “put jobs first” and “Australians first”, signalling a reduction in the occupations available to skilled foreign workers and raising the threshold to qualify.

“Australians must have priority for Australian jobs – so we’re abolishing the [class] 457 visas, the visas that bring temporary foreign workers into our country,” he said.

“We’ll no longer let 457 visas be passports to jobs that could and should go to Australians.

“It’s important that businesses still get access to the skills they need to grow and invest.

“So the 457 visa will be replaced by a new temporary visa specifically designed to recruit the best and the brightest in the national interest.”

Turnbull said the new visa would “better target genuine skills shortages” and would include new requirements such as previous work experience, better English-language proficiency and labour market testing.

He said the government would establish “a new training fund” for Australians to fill skills gaps.

“Our reforms will have a simple focus: Australian jobs and Australian values.”

Currently 95,758 people are in Australia on a 457 visa. The highest proportion of foreign workers came from India (24.6%), the United Kingdom (19.5%) and China (5.8%).
At a press conference in Canberra, Turnbull said the 457 visa system needed to be replaced because it had “lost its credibility”.
