With all due respect , I have lived in Australia 28 years this year and in some parts of Oz antipom sentiment can and does happen. There are of course places where it doesn't happen . If you havent'been a victim of it then all well and good, but my dad coped alot when he came over in the early 70s and we lived in Sydney.

It's not that easy on the unempolyment benefets in OZ , lots of hoop jumping and quite right too. If you are young they don't make it an easy option.

I'm sorry your Dad found some ignorant people - they are everywhere no doubt about it. My Aunt had some problems when she first moved here (I think she said 26 years ago, it's something like that anyhow), but only from a very small minority of people. She doesn't get it any more though, and she still sounds Yorkshire

there are plenty of, how shall I word this, people from other ethnic groups that sit on their arses all day claiming money. unless someone has a severe disability or illness that prevents them from working i can't understand how they get away with it.

Tell me about it. there's none more skilled than myself at what I do, a year ago I sent off 12 job applications and didn't even get one reply. Needless to say I gave up and do it for myself now.
The whole skilled migration thing is just a con to make money. Protectionism and anti pom sentiment make it very hard to actually use your skills here unless you can become self employed in them.
