Abstract
This article analyses Australia’s primary temporary employment visa – the 457 visa programme – through the lens of Ruhs’ “price of rights” thesis. Ruhs has argued that a trade-off exists between the openness of labour migration and the rights afforded to migrants. The 457 visa programme provides a single case example to analyse Ruhs’ theory. The analysis finds that the 457 visa programme provides a level of support for the “price of rights” thesis. However, minor methodological issues arise, demonstrating the need for further exploration of this important migration topic.
