Re: Minister's announcement on GSM visas – 8 February 2010
I think I am stuffed.
I'm 44 next week and my occupation was on the MODL which meant I achieved 120 points.
I now have 105 and am therefore thinking of going no further wth my application as I will simply be wasting money if I understand the situation correctly because I have not submitted my application.
If my occupation is on the new SOL announced in April will points be awarded for that or do we just not know what curve balls the Australian Government will throw next?

Re: state migration plan
In fact, I think there is no need for states to copy CSL as it gives enough priority for applicants (CSL + SS = 3 cat.)
Instead, states will make their own lists that are different from CSL to sponsor other workers, not included in CSL. The problem is who will they include in it and how soon we'll know it.

Re: Goverment tightens immigration policy
Until then, really everything is speculation. But it does appear that the focus of the new system is not to give visas to everyone but for Australia to really address its specific migration needs, especially on a individual state level. Which, in theory doesn't sound like a bad idea.
