You really can't expect an encyclopedic Knowledge and perhaps this is the way it should be!

Only interesting one was to be told by a state that I hadn't applied to that my skill, although still on the list today, will come off on the 1st of July - even though their list was updated on the 29th of June.

Perhaps my out of context question should be what is the difference between

Queensland

• Skilled Sponsored Eligible Skills List
  
• Eligible skills for the permanent residence visa

The URL for the page is http://www.workliveplay.qld.gov.au/d...nt.cfm?id=3709

Any insight would be welcome.

Qld want 'Manual Aarts' (Double use of the A to accentuate the vowel!) but seeming only until Wednesday.

Perhaps I'm misreading the Temporary visa and the 176 - makes no difference to us just interesting development.

Best thing at the expo was a Tasmania cube which the daughters love and a Koala!

What do you reckon to the two lists?

Is the Manual Aarts on the 886 hence temporary?

Getting ready to fly in nine days so a good taster of what may lie in store.

Sorry - not great news but at least some news.
