Australia needs skilled migrants, that fact is undeniable.
What it needs to do is set a preference of skilled workers from culturally suitable nations in the Commonwealth.
My father from the UK and mother from RSA being prime examples of what we need more of. End a sentence in a preposition, go and stand in the corner yes I know.
Yes, but we need to be selective... this current government is intentionally immigrating those who they know are more likely to vote for them.
You know how the UK sent all their convicts to Australia 200 years ago?
Lol, now they are sending us their immigrants, because they now realise they took on too many.
Don't be fooled by the UK figures immigrating to Australia....as many of them are Indian/Pakistani.
We are taking UK's immigrational left overs, and other nations crooks.
We are still a dumping ground according to the Labor government.
The jokes on us!
