yes, ive heard that peter collier wants perth to be reclassified as regional along with darwin and adelaide...but the federal government isnt being very cooperative so far. perth is running pretty short of certain occupations and being regional would make things a lot easier for the city as the mines drain a lot of the labour outwards. perth will soon be on a hospitality skeleton staff of sorts.
only today i got an email from diac directing me to a website which lists cookery jobs, and told me that with the industry in the state its in im in hot demand! lol....i felt like replying and telling them im already plugging a hole in the workforce but sadly am considering leaving back to the uk where i at least have my civil rights (im on a bridging visa and even a visit to my elderly mother is subject to permission and payment)....
sorry. beginning to rant there; anyway the perth being reclassified situation is something im keeping a beady eye on! thanks for the link.
