Australia`s bustling cities such as Sydney and Melbourne have always been permanent places for Chinese immigrants, while South Australia, known as a "remote area", is in a different way.
According to the Home Office, the total number of skilled immigrants in South Australia in 2014-2015 was 10701; in 2016-2017, the total number of skilled immigrants in South Australia fell to 8238, a full 23 percent drop.
Not only is the number of skilled immigrants plummeting, but the number of family visas has also fallen slightly, from 2785 to 2683. The situation is not optimistic!
However, the house leaks on the night rain, Australia`s government is also changing the law to reduce immigration! Even foreign students are scapegoats!
At a time when all the big cities of Sydney and Melbourne were not emigrating, South Australia was finally unable to sit down! "No, we do!" The South Australian Business Association appealed to government that we in South Australia should apply for a special "priority" in immigration policy in order to bring in more immigrants!
Mr. Penney, executive director for industry and government participation at the South Australian Business Association, said South Australia needed special government treatment to attract workers to areas where there was a shortage of workers.
Four out of every 10 employers in remote areas of South Australia struggle to attract skilled workers from other states, who rely heavily on emigration.
"what`s more, South Australia`s workforce is getting older and it`s hard for companies to find the right people to fill vacant positions, especially in those local companies," Penney stressed.
Not just the South Australian Chamber of Commerce, but the governor is well aware that the situation needs to be addressed.
The Steven Marshall is very direct in criticizing the demographic pressures in Sydney and Melbourne because infrastructure is not up to date, not immigration policy.
A "massive shortage of skilled workers" is curbing South Australia`s economic growth, and the supply of skills and demand in some sectors are mismatched.
On Wednesday, South Australia`s governor, Marshall, said the state government was working with the federal government to study how to increase South Australia`s population.
"We are working effectively with the Federal government to increase the number of international students and encourage skilled workers to work in the region," he said.
And it`s our turn to South Australia! Otherwise, the population of South Australia is all gone!
According to the data, South Australia`s population growth rate is much worse than that of other cities in the same capital city.
Sydney and Melbourne are far ahead of the population growth, Brisbane and Perth are also tens of thousands of levels, but Adelaide, can only be regarded as a "later life", and see the Canberra behind it is about to catch up.
In the previous fiscal year, South Australia`s population grew by about 10,000 throughout the year, while Victoria added 10,000 people every 26 days. Even worse, South Australia is the slowest state / territory with the slowest population growth outside Tata since 2012, compared with the overall rate of growth after 2012. A total of 23000 people were lost to other areas.
Queensland`s remoteness also has an impact on population growth across South Australia, so South Australia urgently needs immigration priorities, especially in increasing the population in remote areas and foreign students.
In fact, since the beginning of this year, the Federal government in order to increase support for start-up efforts, the opening of Global Talent Scheme, throughout Australia has only given South Australia a separate "The Supporting Innovation in South Australia Scheme", is expected to be implemented in 2019.
Next immigrant hot election
At the moment, Queensland, New Jersey, looks saturated, and South Australia is clearly the next popular choice for immigrants as Tahon`s guarantee requirements get higher!
First of all, Adelaide as the capital city of South Australia, but can have 5 points in remote areas to add points is very attractive, in addition to Adelaide University, South Australia University, Flinders University are academic excellent, well-known institutions of higher learning.
Adelaide city atmosphere leisure and not noisy, beautiful environment, food and wine is not lacking, that is, suitable for academic research, but also suitable for living and working in peace and happiness, of course, more suitable for retirement pension, the cost of living is much lower than the eastern big cities! It`s really a good choice for immigrants!
However, although South Australia has many advantages to say, how to attract people is on the one hand, and more importantly, how to keep people behind!
South Australia government if successful application for immigration priority of course is good, but how to let successful immigrants stay in South Australia, no longer go to the eastern city is the top priority!
I believe there are also many examples around us!
Some people in other states can`t get PR, and go to South Australia because they take a fancy to South Australia`s "remote areas plus five points" immigration policy, but a significant number of these people choose to go to Sydney, Melbourne after winning the PR. Eastern cities such as Brisbane.
South Australia is busy for half a day, all for other cities to make wedding clothes.
What if South Australia can use immigration priorities to attract one hundred thousand people a year? If you run away one hundred thousand and one a year, it`s no use running away!
Therefore, we must not only introduce appropriate encouraging policies for immigrants, but also keep up with the corresponding infrastructure, supporting service construction and two-pronged software and hardware to ensure that new immigrants can remain in South Australia at peace of mind. To contribute to the economic development of South Australia!
