We need to quickly phase out the low-skill stream of the TFW program, which the government has expanded to let companies fill perceived labour shortages.

Is it truly just perceived? I'd want to see some stats on where the labour force is actually thin.

The old adage is "you don't have a labour shortage, you have a wage shortage", and it's true here. If we had a labour shortage, companies could pay more and/or train people, but that would be expensive. Better to just strip-mine south Asians for every cent they're worth.
