Skilled Migrant Visa - Aussie Asean

1. Australian student visa blowout Tonight’s TV ratings will be the focus of a question not discussed in the election campaign, but it is important in the list of issues that Australians are concerned about: a two-party high immigration policy. In the year to June 2018, 255,480 people emigrated from overseas to Australia. One out of every 100 visitors comes. About two-thirds of them settle in Melbourne and Sydney, which is the main reason for the rapid population growth of the two cities. This is an election issue, but only in marginal areas, this is one of the factors driving voters to travel to one country and other right-wing parties. There is no debate between the major political parties, because the Australian elite has reached a consensus that high immigration is a good thing, and anyone who criticizes it must be racist. Polls consistently show that most Australians have different opinions. They do not object to immigration, but hope to reduce it to a lower level. The government has been quietly reducing the number of permanent immigrants and is now reducing its annual target from 190,000 to 160,000. At the same time, however, what has not been noticed in the debate is that the total net flows of permanent and long-term entry into Australia have soared to the second highest level ever, and the highest level in a decade: twelve as of February in the middle of the month, 299,190 has increased by 20% in the past three years. Most people who come here are not permanent immigrants or temporary workers, but as students. One source is outstanding: Nepal’s small Himalayan country, with a population of only 30 million, lives in one of the poorest countries in Asia.

2. In 2017-18, one in every 1,500 inhabitants in Nepal immigrated to Australia. In an era of strict immigration control, this is an astonishing number for the two countries far apart, with no common language, tradition or race. In the five years to mid-2018, one in every 500 Nepalese immigrants to Australia - this is the net, minus the returnees. In 2017-18, Little Nepal became Australia’s third largest source of immigration after India and China. ABC’s four corner plans tonight will explain how it happened. Relaxation controls allow universities to selectively lower their standards to enroll more foreign students, even if they do not meet the English language skills or academic performance threshold. Some universities have done the same because of the pressure from the federal cuts. Not surprisingly, many of these students are struggling, which reduces Australia’s academic standards as one of the selling points for foreign students’ competition, and also facilitates the transition from student visas to permanent residency. This is not the first increase in Nepalese immigration. Ten years ago, we saw a scam with a training visa. Students from India and Nepal came to Australia to attend training courses and quickly disappeared into the workforce. The scam made the net immigration record the highest in 2008-09, and then the immigration minister Chris Evans shut it down. But most people who come here stay here.

3. At the current rate of immigration, Australia’s residents born in Nepal will soon be more than Greece. If they are engaged in jobs that only they can do, there is nothing wrong with this, but the high unemployment rate and underemployment of young people continue to exist - a total of 633,000 people in March, accounting for 29% of the youth workforce, indicating that our leaders and Australians Society has disappointed them. As I wrote before, a report by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of the Interior last year estimated that 73% of the net increase in full-time jobs in Australia over the past five years was attributed to new immigrants. This means that Australian-born workers only have a net increase of 20,000 full-time jobs each year. Far from keeping up with population growth. The Bureau of Statistics report shows that between 2012 and 2017, the number of Australians aged 15 to 24 working full-time has decreased by 113,000, while the number of unemployed has increased by 25,000, while the number of unemployed has decreased (mainly wanting to work full time) Work, (must be part-time) rose by 102,000. Like the declining housing affordability and traffic congestion in Sydney and Melbourne, high immigration is not the only reason why young people can’t find a job, but an important reason. Australian elites are indifferent to the fact that such young people are unable to get full-time jobs to start their lives. But this is the reality that all Australian families and communities are feeling, which is a problem that has prompted the rise of the right-wing small party.
