In recent days, Australia`s immigration policy has taken place frequently. Just yesterday, although it was the weekend when everyone enjoyed the weekend, one of Australia`s largest states, the Victorian government, posted such a message on the official website of the State of Victoria:
Victoria, shut down the investment immigration channel!
This is also after new state and Kunzhou, the third area that announced the closure of investment immigration passage, it is foreseeable that the Australian immigration authorities will be in trouble.
Some of the investment immigration channels that Victoria has chosen to close include:
188B, 188S, 188A, 188E, 132A, 132B, it can be said that all types of investment immigrants are closed. And when to re-open, it is not known at present.
Government public information shows that during the fiscal year 2018 / 09, the state`s investment immigration channel was temporarily closed for an unknown period of time.
The official website says reopen shortly can be ignored directly. As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar in the moments.
In October 2018, just after taking over as Prime Minister, Morrison made his first speech in Sydney`s Chinese District on the theme of welcoming Chinese investors and Chinese students, and Australia hopes to maintain a good trade partnership with China.
At that time, a lot of people were glad that immigration policy was finally about to be relaxed.
Unexpectedly, just after 2018, Morrison, who chanted slogans to welcome investors, shut down some of the hottest places for investment immigration.
Turn your face too fast. It caught people off guard.
What is the signal that three of the most economically developed regions of the state of Victoria, New and Kunzhou have closed down access to investment migration?
First of all, let`s review the investment immigration channel closed.
The earliest closure was in the new state-on December 20, 2018, on Christmas Eve, the governor of the new state suddenly announced the closure of the investment immigration corridor.
The new state shut down investment immigration applications, according to the government: there are too many business investment types of applicants, more than the government`s intended share.
You know, investment immigrants often spend millions of Australian dollars, such a huge sum of money in Australia now can not get the status. It is conceivable how difficult it is to emigrate.
Those affected include all types of investment immigrants: 188B, 188S, 188A, 188E, 132A, 132B
Then, on January 2, 2019, on the afternoon of New Year`s Day`s second day, the Kunzhou government posted information on its official website: close all channels for investment immigration guarantees.
Similarly, all 188 and 132 categories were closed.
At that time, moments had already exploded.
By January 4, Victoria had closed the investment immigration corridor. Maybe this is a sign that immigration is going to make a big move.
If you look at the types of investment migrants that have been shut down, those who are rejected are all investment-oriented people who can bring great economic benefits to Australia and create large numbers of jobs.
I: 188 categories
(1) Business Innovation Class 188A: the applicant`s husband and wife have a net asset of 800000 Australian dollars.

The applicant agrees to do business in Australia for 2 years.

Immigration experts say the government shut down investment immigration channels in New, Victoria and Kunzhou in an effort to force migrants to look to remote areas.
This is the same idea as the policy of new immigrants going up and down the country, hoping that investors will drive the economic development of remote areas.
On the other hand, Morrison`s move is intended to cater to the wishes of Australian citizens in an attempt to turn the tide in this year`s election, and if satisfied with the status quo, he can be expected to be ousted from the prime minister`s throne.
Australia`s most anti-immigration problem is congestion and heavy infrastructure in major capital cities.
Melbourne and Sydney were the worst, with similar problems in Brisbane and Gold Coast in Queensland.
A large number of independent skilled migrants are still pouring into these cities, with 87% of the 112000 independent skilled migrants choosing Melbourne and Sydney as a distance in 2017.
This placed a huge burden on the two cities, and infrastructure expansion and upgrading could not be completed immediately, turning into a vicious circle.
This is why new immigrants are forced to live in remote areas for five years.
Australia`s political game, as long as it can be a chip, is an important issue, so the policy is likely to be implemented because more than 66.4% of Australian citizens feel that immigrants should be kept away from the big cities.
Sydney, in particular, is Australia`s largest city, home to the largest number of immigrants.
It is in the interest of political parties to force immigrants to stay away from the capital city in order to get the support of citizens here.
Even without political considerations, Sydney and Melbourne are crowded enough. The density of the population even exceeds that of many cosmopolitan cities with more celebrities.
Sydney`s Silverwater area has a population density of 1773 people per square kilometre, roughly the same as in New York City, according to the latest census.
Maroubra has a population density of 5591 people per square kilometre, and the closest is London`s population density (5600 people / km2) from the same period last year.
Paddington-Moore Park has a population density of 4394 people per square kilometer, almost surpassing Tokyo`s Yokohama urban area, which has a population density of 4400 people per square kilometre.
Japan has a small area and a large population, and can be comparable to the density of the population here. Imagine how many people there are in Sydney right now!
This is not over, and then we look at the population density of 3706 people per square kilometer in Sydney`s Concord-Mortlake-Cabarita district, which is more than Paris, France, and 3700 people per square kilometre.
The most densely populated place in Australia is not Sydney, but Melbourne!
Melbourne CBD has a population density of 19000 people per square kilometre!
Such a dense population has left infrastructure burdensome. Traffic congestion, poor commuter, soaring prices, rising house prices, a variety of problems ensued.
First move new immigrants, then move some foreign students, finally investors to remote areas. Let investors invest in remote areas to create new jobs for new immigrants, together with the consumption and contribution of foreign students.
It can help boost the economy in remote areas in the shortest possible time.
The system is attractive to Australian citizens who are fed up with overcrowding in big cities and burdensome infrastructure. Perhaps it could attract a lot of votes for Morrison.
But it is the many who have the will to emigrate, who are sacrificed for political purposes. I just don`t know if the Government is doing this and driving out all the immigrants, is it lifting a stone to hit itself in the foot? Of course, no matter if you go through any immigration channel, you must take advantage of it.
