Thanks for the form Pollyana! Wow, we assumed all this time that once you work for a full year you can at least work in Perth. The fact that you still can't sucks quite a bit. Sigh, any chance the state sponsored 475 holders will get a reprieve like the family sponsored 475 holders did?

Personally I doubt it. At the very least I wouldn't expect any big change like that so soon after the implementation of SkillSelect. States really want people to work in areas that would normally be hard to recruit to. It's a small price really when you consider what the states have provided in terms of sponsorship.
