The Australian Financial Review

Pressure on Canberra from unions and recruiters over the use of the 457 visa scheme to import labour has intensified sharply.
Yesterday, the head of executive technology recruiter Alt-U and former Australian Computer Society president, Edward Mandla, claimed it was a sad reality that most 457 visa holders brought in from India were hired to undercut Australian labour costs.
"They are brought in by organisations on fixed-price contracts solely to make higher profits by reducing local human costs," Mr Mandla said.
He said the government should now "name the organisations bringing in 457 visa holders, the number brought in and citizenship country".
This would restore the scheme's market driven basis that previously saw it operate well, he said.

If media and gambling billionaire James Packer invites you to connect with his group of cohorts on popular professional networking website LinkedIn, these a strong chance he just wants your online contact book. And it’s not really him that’s asking.
That’s what happened to more than 150 professionals and senior executives this month after Mr Packer’s identity was hijacked and used to dupe them into exposing their links to online social networks – and the personal information that goes with them.
The chief executive of executive search firm Alt-U and former Australian Computer Society president, Edward Mandla, declined his invitation to join the bogus Packer network, but said whoever has set up the page was set to reap a goldmine of commercially sensitive information. “You see the list of an organization or a bid team,” Mr Mandla said. “You can then start stealing their staff.”

After our marathon effort to find out the Labor candidates for the Sydney City Council elections (see WHO IS ON THE LABOR TICKET ??? , July2008 page 30) we went looking for the Liberal ticket candidates. We typed into google "Liberal Sydney City Council 2008" and on the first page came up with a reference to Edward Mandla's website - which referred visitors to the Sydney Liberals website. Regular readers may recall that Edward Mandla was the Liberal endorsed candidate for the state seat of Sydney at the 2007 NSW election and is a "computer guru" - indeed we awarded his website the Best Candidate website of the 2007 NSW elections.
