Re: Door may be shut to skilled migrants
From the article
Does this so called professor know what he is blubbering on about? Backdoor entry to PR without evidence of good English or skills in a required trade?!
If that is the case many here wouldn't be so frustrated at the the stringent Australia migration criteria.
Makes me mad! :curse: Its true what the say about those who can do, those who can't teach but please stop opening his mouth in public and show what a tool he is.
What this tool is doing is essentially creating a separation between Australia born and migrant population. We know how most people take what the newspaper publish seriously especially in this context of economic downturn and job security. Complete opposite of encouraging harmony and integration of migrants. Talk about adding oil to fire!
From this article http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news...0220-8cxx.html
Isn't that one of the requirement currently? For a migrant worker to beat other locals in getting the job and getting a 457 shows that there are no suitable local skills to take up that job. Same for other employer sponsored PR visa.
On ya Julia Gillard, beatdown on this so called 'research' and shut that Professor Tool down!

Hi guys
I think Hon. Senator Chris Evans will not cut back immigrants as he's himself from UK & knows how important are immigrants to Oziland.

Re: Door may be shut to skilled migrants
Yeah, it's very easy to forget how welcome all the immigrant skills and labour were a few years ago when Australia was experiencing a major boom.
It's not exactly fair to expect people to pack up their whole life and move to a new continent when you need their skills in a boom time, and then expect them to just pack up their whole new lifes and move back to start all over again when times get tough. If the immigrants helped make Australia the country that it is today, surely they can expect Australia to support them in the tough times.
I know that's rich coming from me, someone who wasnt there to help build Australia, but the fact that I am willing to move there in the current tough times should show how commited I am to Australia and how much I want to help build the country after we've passed the tough times

Re: Door may be shut to skilled migrants
The actual flying time might be 19 hours but like Jen said, the whole trip is about thirty and man is it boring. What exactly do you do for five hours in KL airport, it's one of the most boring places I ever set foot in. You can only watch the monorail come in and out so many times. The life of a solo traveller, who'd have it ?

Re: Door may be shut to skilled migrants
I immigrated in 2000 after waiting for 4 years in the queue.
I applied in 1996.
To all those who complain about waiting for 12-24 months, this should be an indicator of what the previous migrants had to go through to make it to australia
Immigration is not something to be taken for granted. The government has a duty towards its' citizens first !
