And the winner is... Alessandro Bellomunno with his subclass 457 visa!

Alessandro, we’re very glad you could be here today to receive this prize. Everyone is asking, what is this 457?

457? 457 is the average amount of unpaid extra hours I had to work every quarter for the length of my visa to be here today. Thanks to this number I was able to win the Visa Slavery Contest.

You’re right and congratulations again. It was hard to find another contestant when you have put such an effort, we couldn’t find anyone who worked a few years for over 70 hours per week and paid only for 38. What a win! Is there anything you’d like to say to other contestants out there?

Hang in there, but don’t wait after you break those chains and free yourself to speak up. The visa bullying is dead, long live the visa bullying.
