Ten thousand working holiday visa-holders will have their visas extended for another six months, but critics say it makes a mockery of last month’s much-hyped immigration reset. Working holiday visa-holders like ​Mine Bayson, 30, have been stuck in limbo for months. “Some of them are lucky to have the opportunity that they can get a working holiday visa in Australia, but for me that’s not an option.”Working holiday visa-holders like ​Bayson have little trouble securing employment here. Speaking to Stuff Stanford said she welcomed any announcement to extend working holiday visas, but also thought it highlighted problems with the reset. Supplied Katy Armstrong says working holiday visas are the type most associated with the low-skilled work being targeted during the reset.
