A major review into Australia’s migration has found the system is “horrendously complex” and broken and has urged the government to immediately overhaul the scheme.
The 200-page review, headed by former senior public servant Martin Parkinson, found significant deficiencies in migration which left up to 1.8 million guest workers “permanently temporary”.
"There is growing international competition for highly skilled migrants and Australia risks falling behind without more innovative and attractive visa products and service delivery." Speaking to the ABC’s 7:30, Ms O’Neil said the scheme was inefficient and ineffective for migrants or businesses.
