As part of its migration strategy, Labor is introducing a three-tier temporary skills visa to get in-demand workers into the country. But the top tier - or the specialist skills pathway - for those earning at least $135,000 a year, can't be accessed by those in the construction industry. 

Independent MP Allegra Spender says during a housing crisis "it's unfathomable" the Government has excluded construction workers and she's concerned the decision could be due to vested interests, like those of the CFMEU. The Independent MP has also called for a new watch-dog to oversee the construction industry.
