Labor Moves to Cancel Visas for Off-Shore Gas Workers

This latest migration news is provided to you by our Immigration Lawyers in Brisbane.

The Australian Labor party is in the process of introducing a motion into Parliament which will disallow off-shore based oil and gas drilling rigs from continuing to sponsor workers on Subclass 400 and 457 visas. 

It is reported that this comes as a result of the Maritime Union of Australia pursues a High Court challenge against the implementation of the government’s visa arrangements in the offshore oil and gas sector, including a ministerial exemption of vessels from Australia’s mig­ration zone.

It is feared that such a plan could cause severe disruption to the operation of these drilling sites which currently represents in excess of $200 billion worth of on-going projects.
