Australia's skilled migrant worker intake is set to grow by 40,000 people each year as the federal government attempts to combat the ongoing national labour shortage. 9News

The migration intake will be lifted to nearly 200,000 people a year from its current rate of 160,000 after two years of COVID-19 border closures led to a national staffing crisis.

"If we can improve parental leave child care, more women can participate in the workforce," Steggall toldSteggall said the need to accelerate the current processing of workers is essential in bolstering efforts and that Australia should be looking to use the existing local workforce. The Albanese government flagged seniors as a solution, who could soon be allowed to work more hours and still receive their pension.

And here we go…. Labor ladies and gentlemen

Lazy economic policy lobbied by the NFF, Property and Business Councils

482 visa. Need to advertise job for 28 days on 3 platforms atleast. Then becoming a nominee business and then sponsor an immigrant worker. $25-30K all up in costs. 90 days to process.

Australian immigration must publish all visas/companies/salary data in real time so that Australians can apply to these jobs. People are desperately looking for jobs. This to replace Australians

They shouldn't let a single person in until EVERY able bodied Aussie is employed! This is just enabling bludgers.

Here we go, open the flood gates as Labor does, they are literally text book.....

What’s a skilled migrant? More Indian taxi or delivery drivers, more Indian 7/11 and servo attendants, more vegetable pickers! Or something else?

BS. It’s all about the push so migrants will make up 75 per cent of Australia’s population growth by 2060. Our own “left over” jobs from the exit of our manufacturing industries to Indio and Asia Pacific are also being taken by immigrants moving here from those Countries. Wake up

Where will they live?🤡🤡🤡

Great. Where are they going to stay? Have we sorted the rental crisis. Existing families living in car and camping were provided with rental homes to live ? I missed that news 🤔

I fail to understand the logic of Australia to be honest! If you truly honestly NEED people to fill the gaps, WHY NOT make the processing time shorter and your steps/requirements easier? Otherwise, you will forever be in need and we shall be ages behind! Are you for real?

Where are they going to house them considering the housing crisis?
