His point is clear. Some people should not migrate. Some people are at higher risk than others and it's measurable to a point. That's also my opinion too. The rest is detail.

Sure. But I think he is right with the message even if the delivery is not pleasant for some.

1. Is it Australia’s fault if someone is unhappy here????? Really????? Forget personal feelings and your mates on BE and look at it realistically…..
2. If someone is unhappy why don’t they go back home? If its about money, they can’t be that unhappy can they? Really???? And if its about husband/wife girlfriend/boyfriend then they obviously are unhappy with the entire package or have a big disagreement on a basic issue with their life partner…..

Its about time this blame mentality got pushed back where it belongs. The only person to blame for being unhappy in Australia and continuing to be here is YOU.

So going by this ridiculous yardstick I'm a perfect candidate for migration, and you aren't
