Today, Australian political leaders gathered in Canberra, the capital, to convey a message:
Australia visa policy, there will be a major change today, some immigrants to settle in Australia, the trial will be accelerated!
But the price is.
1. Some immigrants speed up, but the cost is not small.
SBS, Australia`s public news agency, reported that
From today, skilled immigrants visa application will have the opportunity to speed up the trial!
Australia will spend $19,400,000, or 100 million yuan, to achieve this!
Those who get these opportunities no longer have to wait in line for a long time!
However, the cost is also realistic: applicants who want to speed up immigration trials,
Must choose to go to Australia-remote areas!
The huge sum will be used for the visa acceleration program within four years, while Australian Home Affairs officials will travel to remote areas to help local businesses hire more skilled migrants.
Under the visa acceleration scheme, employers in remote areas, guarantee, will be given priority, and proposals by local parliaments to hire overseas workers will be prioritized.
"Ministry of Internal Affairs officials will communicate directly with employers and communities in remote areas to obtain firsthand information and listen to their demands." Immigrants / citizen / multicultural minister Kao Min told the media.
Earlier, Prime Minister Morrison has repeatedly mentioned plans to take action against new immigrants from Australia, requiring new immigrants to live in remote areas for five years before obtaining an Australian permanent residence visa, (PR).
Morrison has also repeatedly mentioned the need to slash Australia`s annual immigration quota in an effort to ease congestion in Australia`s big cities.
Australia must be prepared to respond to population growth and respond responsibly to its future, the finance minister said.
"the rate of population growth in Australia is now the fifth fastest in the OECD, and we are already feeling the congestion that this is bringing to Australia`s big cities," said Fredenberg.
"the whole of Australia should work together to send new immigrants to places of work," Fredenberg said.
Australia originally planned to receive 190000 immigrants a year, but in the past few years the Liberal Party has received an average of 160000 migrants a year.
. However, when journalist asked whether Australia should reduce immigration, Fredenberg began to talk about him.
"We should review what Australian communities really need every year. Of course, the population does put pressure on our big cities. Two to three new immigrants go to Melbourne, Sydney and the southeast of Queensland, but Australia`s infrastructure is not keeping pace. " Treasury Secretary Fredenberg said.
Since last year, Morrison government has been spurring public opinion about the plan. And the best-known argument is that "more than 87% of skilled immigrants stay in Melbourne and Sydney, which is causing a lot of congestion and big city disease."
In addition, the Liberal Party Morrison government said that more than 1 / 4 of Australia`s immigrants come to Australia each year through skilled immigration visas in remote areas, but most of them remain in big cities rather than in remote areas. This makes Australia`s big cities worse off.
News Corp said the visa system reform will "improve the overall quality of immigrants." Earlier, Australia`s urban construction population minister Alan Tudge has repeatedly proposed that population growth is creating a large-scale congestion problem for Australia. The Liberal government`s response is to relocate more migrants to remote areas and smaller states to ease the pressure on big cities.
But Labour pointed out tit-for-tat that the government could not force immigrants to stay in remote places for many years.
"I don`t think either side has such a authority to force those immigrants to live in remote areas," said Labour`s immigration affairs speaker.
In addition, according to News Corp, if there is no accident, Australia will continue to reduce the number of immigrants this year, its amount may reach thousands, or even tens of thousands!
On the other hand, Australia has started to tighten its naturalization policy strictly. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as of November 2018, the backlog of Australian naturalization applications was as high as 244431. More than double the number in July 2017 (the backlog was 106950 cases in July 2017).
The number of naturalization applications filed in the previous fiscal year was 239, 413, up 17.5 percent from 203793 the previous year. Over the same period, however, the number of people granted citizen status through naturalization applications fell from 139278 to 80649.
In other words, by extending the review cycle, the current government is putting more and more people on the way to applying for PR and PR transfers to nationals, while Australia`s government has proposed a policy of prioritizing migrants from remote areas. This means that if you want to get a visa early and enjoy the same benefits as other Australians, you`d better carry your backpack and take a trip to remote areas of Australia!
2. Too many immigrants from Australia? The experts angered the Prime Ministe
Although Australia`s current government has repeatedly advocated that immigration poses problems and must be restricted, many in academia and the media have pointed out that this is not true.
Like this guy.
His name is Peter McDonald`s Professor (Peter Mcdonald), McMack is a famous Australian demographer.
Morrison government often uses his research reports to say that Australia has too many immigrants and must try to cut them.
But at a recent government conference, when Prime Minister Morrison once again talked about Professor McDonalds theory, he couldn`t help it when he said he wanted to significantly reduce immigration.
He rattled back on the spot!
"the current number of immigrants in Australia is necessary, even more!"
Professor McDonalds had just lost his voice, and Morrison`s face was not quite right.
However, this is not over. Professor McDonald`s went on.
"if I say, one hundred and ninety thousand is not enough, at least two hundred thousand! What is the policy of going up and down the country is completely impossible to achieve! If we continue to reduce the number of immigrants, it will be a serious blow to Australia`s economic! "
According to the people present at the time, Morrison had to laugh three times to resolve the embarrassment.
I supported the policy with Professor Mak`s theory, but was publicly rebutted by Professor Mak. Is this the official blow in the legend?.
Anyway, experts also believe the move to limit immigration is just a card for the Liberal government to respond to the election.
Dr Birrell, an expert at the Australian Center for population Studies, said: "the Australian government is in a deep political quagmire, but a political movement against immigrants may be able to keep it alive. Polls show that 47% of Labour supporters want to reduce immigration, while 74% say Australia doesn`t need more people. "
Labour, a pro-immigrant party, has also declared that it will bring in more migrants through large-scale humanitarian programs.
If the Liberal Party insists on restricting immigration, the problem will be a weakness for Labour, "Dr. Birrell said.
In addition, the state government is not optimistic about this policy of limiting immigration.
The recently re-elected governor of Victoria, Daniel Andrews, has said publicly that the Labour-run state will never cut immigration.
Queensland Governor Annastacia Palaszczuk is even more anxious, she said, Australia`s fertility rate is only 1.8! And it`s still falling!
If immigration is restricted at this point, there will be fewer and fewer people in Australia.
The fertility rate reflects the total number of children a woman gives birth throughout her life. In general, fertility must be at least 2.1 in order to reach the level of generational replacement)
The only governor to support the prime minister`s cuts in immigration is the new state`s Gladys Berejiklian.
The woman said she would cut the immigrants in the new state in half, and then send all the foreign students to the country to study.
While responding to the prime minister`s call, it is said that new state colleges and overseas students have heard that this is a bunch of nonsense and that you are not going to study in Australia if you want to do that.
3. Australia`s choice of immigration
Australia`s immigrants, cut or not?
Despite disagreements in political and folk circles, the liberal government`s measures to reduce immigration have indeed worked.
The withdrawal of the employer`s guarantee visa not only caused many skilled workers and technicians to dream of breaking up immigration routes, but also had a serious impact on a larger scale.
Universities cannot recruit suitable researchers.
The farm cannot recruit suitable skilled workers.
There are still many people because of the difficulty of immigration, directly abandoned the plan to Australia, many industries are deeply affected!
Still, recent polls show that many Australians think there are too many immigrants!
They believe it is immigration that causes local people to lose their jobs.
They argue that immigrants are responsible for rising house prices and that young Australians can`t afford to buy a house.
They believe it is immigration that causes traffic jams and affects life experiences.
It is to cater to public opinion that individual Australian politicians have taken measures to limit immigration.
However, are all these problems really caused by immigration?
[28D8399A-9504-9AAB-1DAE-F42BB0858D06]
Earlier last year, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported that large numbers of young people in (South Australia), South Australia, were fleeing and heading for Sydney and Melbourne.
South Australia posted a net outflow of 6900 people to other states in 2016, according to ABC.
And more than half of them are 20-34-year-olds!
The main reason is that it`s not easy to find a job in South Australia!
By contrast, Sydney and Melbourne have developed economic with a large population, relatively advanced infrastructure, and a colorful life that is more suitable for young people to plan and develop their lives.
Look, don`t say that new immigrants from overseas don`t want to go to remote areas, even Australians can`t stand it!
Instead of hoping to "distribute" new immigrants to remote areas, it is better to think about how to attract them to take the initiative to travel to remote areas. For example, arranging jobs, providing policy facilitation for entrepreneurship, providing more adequate public resources for remote areas and building infrastructure.
Men go high and water flows low. This is true in both China and Australia.
