I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. (1) Modelling by my department indicates that Western Australia will require approximately 67 000 additional workers by 2013, over and above natural population increase and current migration levels. (2)–(4) The state has an agreement with the commonwealth through a memorandum of understanding to sponsor 2 500 skilled migrants for 2011, 2012 and 2013. A further 15 000 to 20 000 skilled migrants are expected each year under the employer nominated scheme and temporary subclass 457 visa program.
