"Severe labour shortages in Australia could offer some hope to MG Rover employees facing redundancy, the privately-run Visa Bureau has said."

Talk about cheap advertising

Wmore,

I think they are talking more of the engineering / qualified manufacturing engineers rather than production workers.

I don't think they would get the points required.
(not intending to look down on anyone)

Plenty of jobs advertised in Oz for Engineers.

Bye
Mark
