Australia`s "going up and down the countryside" plan is a shock to the entire immigration circle, hundreds of thousands of new immigrants up and down Australia are terrified, tearless, 45% of new immigrants may be forced to go to the countryside to stay there for five years! Remote areas include: South Australia, the Northern Territory and Tasmania, which is the same way we went back to the village of Wen Qing!
And if you don`t go, you`re likely to disqualify PR! It also affects naturalization!
In fact, in Australia, residents have the right to settle freely! It was properly written in the constitution! Then why do you have such an anti-constitutional immigration program? The answer given by population minister Alan Tudge is: to ease congestion in Sydney and Melbourne.
Although the details have not yet been released, but the news immediately caused a large number of new immigrants angry! Even the Australians can`t see it anymore!
According to the latest Fairfax poll, 64% of all voters are not satisfied. 44% of Unionparty supporters are not satisfied! 70% of Labour supporters are not satisfied! 84% of Green Party supporters are not satisfied! 70% of the supporters of the one-nation party are not satisfied!
64% of the people are not satisfied with the performance of Australia`s government now dealing with immigrants! The plan is not really popular with most people!
1. The policy of "going to the countryside" has been questioned! A large number of Australian experts: once implemented, the consequences could be unthinkable!
First look at the recent mainstream Australian media, we know that a lot of people are not optimistic about this policy!
< ABC >: forcing migrants to remote areas will hurt big cities like Sydney!
< SBS >: forcing new immigrants to villages and towns to solve urban congestion doesn`t have much use!
In fact, whether this new scheme is intended to solve urban congestion or because of political demand, once implemented, I am afraid that it will have a lot of negative effects!
According to data from the previous two years, 90% of immigrants chose big cities as their footholds because they had more job options and jobs.
If the government only implements the policy of "going up and down the countryside" without simultaneously creating jobs in remote areas and upgrading infrastructure, it will not only lead to a sharp rise in unemployment in remote areas in a short period of time, community harmony and even the destruction of public order. It will also lead to an increase in social welfare spending!
As entrepreneur Dick Smith said, he joined Australia`s "Sustainable Development Party" (Sustainable Australia Party), last year. He said it was unrealistic to move people to remote areas with high unemployment.
Faced with the media, he said: "this must be a joke, sending them to rural towns, where there are no jobs, and eventually they can only receive unemployment benefits."
If you can`t find a job in a remote area, you have to lie at home and get a government grant. Is that what government wants to see?
In an interview with ABC, Liz Allen, a demographer at the Australian National University, said:
"Township areas must first have employment, housing, health care and educational facilities before they should adopt policies to attract local and overseas immigrants to settle there."
The real problem is that funding and policies for infrastructure have been scarce over the past decade. Many government have been using population as an excuse for failure, and immigrants have been involved. "
And for the Melbourne and Sydney economies, there is no doubt that it is also a major blow!
For independent skilled immigrants, most of them choose to emigrate. Sydney and Melbourne have become the preferred place for most students to stay in Australia due to their abundant educational resources.
We know that IELTS is a must if we want to go independent skilled immigrants, right? Year of work is a must, isn`t it? a PTE is also a must? Once the policy of "going up and down to the countryside" is implemented, a large number of students from Australia may have gone to remote areas.
What about the universities in Sydney and Melbourne? What about IELTS? what about PY? what about PTE! How much revenue will these institutions lose? Does government give a grant?
These will undoubtedly have a major impact on the education industry and services in Sydney and Melbourne as well as in Australia.
For independent skilled migrants, the policy will exacerbate labor shortages in some industries in big cities.
Chris Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Urban Development Association, also spoke! He did not think it would be good for big cities such as Sydney to move migrants to rural areas.
Sydney needs IT experts, finance experts and other professionals to live in the city, Johnson said, and these are the mainstream specialties for skilled immigrants. So if the new deal moves the majority of skilled immigrants to rural areas, it is likely that some high-quality migrants will be lost.
For example, a recent terrible thing! Qantas and Virgin almost collided over Australia! It was found out later that the air traffic controllers were suspected of failing to perform their duties! In response, Tom McRobert, President of civil Air Australia, said:
"there are really not enough men! When ATC (Air Traffic Control) is cancelled on the 457th visa list, it makes it even more difficult for us to attract a certain number of overseas talents! "
It can be seen that if a large number of skilled immigrants are forced to go to the countryside, then the shortage of employment in certain occupations in the big city is undoubtedly even worse.
For investment immigrants, the deal will make Australia instantly less attractive to business talent, forcing them to turn their sights on the United States, Canada, Singapore and other European countries. It is clear that the policy of "going up and down the country" will be a policy that will do more harm than good.
2. The local people disagree! Once the new deal is implemented, remote areas may be overwhelmed!
And once large numbers of new immigrants are forced to go to remote areas, what do the locals think? It is said that the governors in remote areas often cry to the government that talent is hard to get, which is good, or that the new deal will be banished from the countryside. They should be happy, perhaps.
It would be naive to think so! For example, as soon as the news of the new plan of "going up and down the country" comes out, the people of Tazhou are not willing to do so!
As a result of the policy, Tasmania`s infrastructure could come under enormous pressure, or even a complete rout, according to the ABC News.
"at present, Tasmania`s population growth is a `runaway train,` and the health and transportation sectors are struggling to cope with the growing demand for facilities," according to Irene Duckett, a planning expert.
She called on all three-tier government (three levels of government) to consider more rational planning to increase population growth in the state, or the state would meet government`s target of six hundred and fifty thousand nine years ahead of schedule.
Ms. Duckett believes that without proper forward-looking planning, Tasmania will be the next Sydney or Melbourne!
Whether it`s medical care, housing, or transportation, it`s going to be a lot of pressure.
She argues that while government increases the number of immigrants abroad to Tasmania, it does not target or plan immigrants to live in specific areas! Most of the big houses would be piled up in Hobart, the capital!
Conceivably, Hobart`s massive population growth will be faster than anywhere else. It may not be far away from becoming the next "blockage".
At the moment, I think we`re an out-of-control train, she said. It all happened, we were chasing it, but the train didn`t have a driver.
Three years ago, Tasmania government announced a population plan that expects Tasmania`s population to reach six hundred and fifty thousand by 2050 in order to boost economic growth, create jobs and improve the quality of life.
But recently, the state is facing a serious housing crisis: housing vacancy rates are extremely low and rental prices have risen sharply.
Prices in Hobart grew four times as fast as Sydney, according to CoreLogic data.
In 2017 alone, Hobart`s house prices rose by 12.3%!
In addition, the Royal Hobart Hospital and the Emergency Department of Langston General Hospital have always faced great demand. Hobart can even feel traffic jams during early and late rush hours!
At present, our plan is only tourism development, but it can not be coordinated with population growth target and population resettlement target.
Now Tasmania is under pressure to cope with the current population!
"some residents of Tasmania have nowhere to go and can only live in pavilions and tents in other people`s backyard. Even our hospitals are in crisis: ambulance attendance is soaring every day, and the people who sleep on the floor of the emergency department are physically and mentally ill patients. "
"how can we support rapid population growth when we are no longer able to serve our original population?" She said.
If the influx of more new immigrants, the Tasmanian people may be really about to cry.
Can really want to cry or immigrants ah, government forced new immigrants to "go to the countryside", but the "country" of the state people are not welcome, how can this be good ah! The pain in the hearts of the new immigrants cannot be said!
3. Editor`s conclusion
Limiting the number of new immigrants in big cities is probably not a good solution to the congestion in big cities.
Sydney and Melbourne are still within a reasonable range of populations compared to other cosmopolitan cities. The population of these two cities has been growing at a high rate over the past few decades, but the urban population base is not particularly large in comparison with the major cities in the world and is dealt with by, inter alia, strengthening infrastructure. The two cities should also have the resources and levels of construction that can accommodate more people.
So, according to the editor, the current situation is not yet at a critical juncture in the need to pursue such an extreme policy of "going up and down the country." The Unionparty government is eager to "go up and down the country" policy, more based on political needs, such as canvassing for next year`s general election.
As for the economy, Australia`s emigrants-related industries have now formed a self-operating economic ecosystem. If government forces the new deal to "go to the mountains and go to the countryside", regardless of the losses of the relevant interest groups, it will undoubtedly have a major impact on some economic industries, will there be a lot of CEO shakes: "this time the sales decline, it is not my fault!" It`s government`s fault! "
After all, the adoption of the new deal still requires certain procedures, and will not be introduced immediately. How to restrict the movement of new immigrants, whether it is in line with human rights, whether it infringes on privacy, or whether it has coercive power, remains to be discussed.
