I don't believe it is false. What about Australian's of the year Fiona Wood: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiona_Wood
and
Ian Frazer - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Frazer
or Gustav Nossal - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_Nossal
Plus plenty of high calibre Aussie leaders come back after a stint abroad, like Sir Rod Eddington or Cate Blanchett in the Arts world.

Like I have said previously, you are obviously bitter and twisted about this - do what you need to do.

Hi
Good day
I am studying for IELTS trying to obtain 7 in all skills, my date of test is 30OCT and I have decided to sit IELTS until I obtain 7 in all skills before 2011
I feel that situation is not much sustainable and due to election and what candidates state about immigration roles, new government may change the roles or even suspend the applications any time,
I know that nobody is able to anticipate future of visa application,
But I believe that many of you are chasing election news and are able to analysis existing circumstances and come out with a consistent conclusion close to what is really going to happen,
Therefore I appreciate if you could provide me with your suggestions and advises,
Regards

Is it because of low IELTS score?

I doubt anyone would have the complete "facts" on this either way. But I would say that the reality is that most that have the education and experience do leave. Australia is a nation that under pays and over charges - very few could argue that. So those that have the talent are naturally not going to stay. Do they come back - that will depend on whether the taxes are higher there or here. In the case of the over achievers and talented the grass in greener on the other side.

I would guess that a significant percentage of Australians who leave permanently have multiple passports so leave "permanently" for tax reasons until they come home again. Some of course stay but that is the nature of the world today...everyone moving around, we lose some, and gain some.

In a developed country with a young population of 21.5m and net immigration, 76,000 emigrating (half of whom were immigrants in the first place!) is not a big concern. There are more skilled and experienced workers arriving and being created internally every day.

Really? You think that the majority of experienced and skilled Australian workers emigrate?
