Australia will introduce stricter visa requirements for skilled workers from overseas, the government said.
澳大利亞政府稱，將出臺更嚴格的海外技術勞工簽證要求。

The 457 visa programme is used mainly to hire foreign workers in the restaurant, IT and medical industries - the majority came from India, the UK and China.

But PM Malcolm Turnbull said it would be abolished to prioritise the recruitment of Australian nationals.

Critics of 457 said Australian workers lost out to foreign counterparts.
針對457簽證的批評人士指出，澳大利亞工人被外籍同行搶佔了工作機會。

In its place, two new temporary visas will carry additional requirements and draw from a smaller list of eligible professions.
與此同時，將會有另外的兩項臨時簽證，來代替現有的457簽證。新簽證將會附加要求，且符合要求的勞工較以前將有所減少。

"The new system will be manifestly, rigorously, resolutely conducted in the national interest," Mr Turnbull said on Tuesday.
特恩布林週二表示：“新制度將以國家利益為優先，要準確、嚴格、堅定地執行。”

Yes, according to Mr Dutton. He described the possibility of eventual citizenship as a "significant part of the attraction" of the 457 visa.
據杜頓先生所說，會產生影響。他表示，最終獲得居民身份的可能性是457簽證“最具吸引力的部分”。

The new four-year visa will also result in fewer permanent residents because of the eligibility changes, he said.
他說，有效期為四年的新簽證也將導致移居澳洲的永久性居民因資格要求變動而減少。
