Re: Illegal immigrants
Quote from original article "Senator Vanstone encouraged employers to check whether prospective employees are eligible to work in Australia." - like that'll work in the pubs and fruit picking etc as surley then the employer wouldn't be getting cheaper work from people who are outside the system. Makes a change finding out it's not just the UK who 'lose' people once they have arrived LOL

We must be doing something right.

(I've know a few companies get raided myself, often from tip offs by other employees)
In 2004-2005, more than 18,300 overstayers and people breaching visa conditions were located by the department. (Not a bad % of the total of 47,800)
The number of visa overstayers in Australia at 30 June 2005 was estimated to be around 47,800, a significant decrease on the estimate of under 51,000 at 30 June 2004 and around 59,800 as at 30 June 2003.
