Australian Migration The Gate is CLOSED!

Australian Migration The Gate is CLOSED! YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW THIS, BUT AUSTRALIA IS CLOSED. 462 WORKING HOLIDAY VISAS ARE PAUSED INDEFINITELY. THAT'S 40,000 FEWER PEOPLE COMING TO HELP FARMERS PICK CROPS. PLANNING LEVELS ARE JUST 40% OF WHAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE. MINISTERIAL DIRECTIONS ARE PRIORITISING ONSHORE APPLICATIONS FOR SPOUSES 482 AND 186 VISAS THAT MEANS ALMOST NO OFFSHORE SPOUSES OR SKILLED WORKERS ARE GETTING IN FOR YEARS. THIS ISN'T TEMPORARY. PEOPLE WILL LEAVE AUSTRALIA TO REUNITE WITH THEIR FAMILY. AND OVER 100,000 OFFSHORE WORKERS EACH YEAR WON'T MAKE IT THROUGH THE DOOR. BUSINESSES ARE FURIOUS. THE ECONOMY WILL BE STALLING AND FORGET ABOUT MORE HOMES. THIS IS NOT HELPING AT ALL. WE'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT 5,000 TO 10,000 GSM OFFSHORE APPLICATIONS. BUT PROCESSING TAKES A YEAR, THEN MORE TIME TO MOVE, SETTLE AND FIND WORK. YOU CAN'T REMOVE ENTIRE POPULATIONS FROM PLACES LIKE BLACKTOWN, RAGGY BURN OR BELL CONAN AND EXPECT NO CONSEQUENCES. WHAT ABOUT INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY VISAS ARE GRANTED AT 84%, DOWN FROM 96% FOUR YEARS AGO. STILL HIGH, BUT WE NEED CONSTRUCTION WORKERS. PET. APPROVALS ARE DOWN TO JUST 50%. ONLY 65,000 STUDENTS ACCEPTED AND THAT'S THE LOWEST LEVEL SINCE 2014. AND IF ENGLISH PROFICIENCY MATTERS TO YOU, STUDENT NUMBERS ARE DOWN 70% WITH A 78% GRANT THE LOWEST LEVEL SINCE WE'VE KEPT RECORDS. GOVERNMENT HAS SLAMMED THE DOOR ON 99% OVERSEAS APPLICATIONS. THEY TALK ABOUT HOUSING BUT BUILD NOTHING. WHO DO THEY PUNISH? OFFSHORE SPOUSES WHO LIVE WITH THEIR PARTNERS. OFFSHORE WORKERS WHO WOULD GROW THE ECONOMY. WHO EXACTLY ARE WE PENALIZING? DOCTORS, NURSES, SCHOOL TEACHERS, BUILDERS, PEOPLE WHO ARE IN DEMAND AND PRIORITIZED ONSHORE THEY'RE TREATED LIKE TRASH AND WHO'S STILL FREE TO COME? WELL, PARENTS, TOURISTS, REFUGEES AND STUDENTS. THEY'RE ALL TAKING UP HOUSING, BOOKING AIRBNBS, CONTRIBUTING LITTLE TO THE LONG TERM ECONOMY OF THE COUNTRY. HAVE A GREAT DAY.
