If the demand for chefs and real estate agents are so high that the costs of paying for visa applications and relocating them from half way round the world are worth it, I'm not worried about the domestics. They are doing fine.

They aren't bringing in real chefs, they are bringing in low waged employees. Do you think you really need to have a culinary degree to work at McDonalds?

What specialist skills does a real estate agent have?

Australia's unemployment rate is 5.9%, Youth unemployment is 13.3% You really don't think that Australia's youth should be prioritised for working at a McDonalds?
