How different is this to the 457 visa that was so popular a couple of years ago?

I just wish we'd see some reciprocation from the US on this sort of thing. I've got no problem with Australia opening up work visas to the US, but I don't imagine they'll hand out Green Cards to Aussies as easily.

Well who has the bigger bargaining power, Peter?

457 is associated with liberal and Howard. All labels need to be torn off and redone.
