More migrant workers will be eligible to have their visas fast-tracked by the Australian government after it expanded the list of skills considered priority occupations.

Immigration Minister Alex Hawke has announced 22 job categories will be added to the Priority Migration Skilled Occupation List designed to lure critical workers into the country.

The PMSOL now consisting of 41 occupations was first developed in September last year in coordination with the National Skills Commission. This year's May budget revealed the government's expectation that temporary and permanent migration is expected to gradually return from half-way through 2022.

Heaven forbid we produce graduates in areas they’re needed , perhaps a better idea is to bring in university lecturers capable of teaching and end doctorates in breast feeding😎

a condemnation of our universities - not providing the right degrees to the country.

Temp migrants who had to stay here during the worst of Covid and lost jobs and income should be given PR as a thank you if they wish to stay AlexHawkeMP

Vegetable and fruit pickers .. $1-2 /hr .. they’ll be flooding in .. fair warning : watch for mice scratching at your kids guys, and also some very dodgy farmers demanding, err .. certain “dubious favours”.

Keep the ponzi going.

The Liberal Party economic plan: Defund training. Cry skill-shortages. Import consumers en-masse. It keeps wages down. Sells our donors' crappy apartments and products despite everyone being worse off. Shame about our lifestyle, working conditions, environment auspol

Skilled migration means no career growth/uplifting/promotions/support/trains Australians.Companies already outsourced/moved jobs to India/Asia. They are trained there & bring back to Australia & have luxurious life. We create jobs and give it to overseas. AlexHawkeMP theage

ScottMorrisonMP here holding a PR with a job in sydney n still waiting to get a flight back 😔

Don't think this is feasible.. alot of highly skilled Australians who are stuck overseas are still waiting to move back to OZ. Just bloody difficult because of the Pandemic innit.

You can't be serious while so many Aussies can't get housing and these migrants will take the housing meant for Aussies. Stop giving our resources to foreigners

‘Mr Hawke said the eligible workers were considered job multipliers that would aid Australia's ongoing recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.’ Noone on this list is going to work if there are no early childhood educators left to look after their children - that’s a job multiplier

Bullshit fucking fake shit when 8000 of us highly skilled migrants with a valid visas in our hands were abandoned from last 17 months.

There are plenty unemployed in this country who would love to gain training and experience in a new career field ScottMorrisonMP auspol

Australia-UK trade agreement a ‘win-win’ for both sides | Sky News AustraliaAustralia and the United Kingdom’s free trade agreement is a “win-win” for both sides, according to Victoria Treadell.\n\nMs Treadell, the British high commissioner to Australia, said she hoped to see tariffs “come right down” over more than a decade. \n\n“This is a win-win for both sides, it is about economic growth and jobs,” she told Sky News Australia.\n\n“For our consumers, I think this is where the great benefit will come from greater choice and lower cost, particularly as we move towards the tariff-free elements that are enshrined in the agreement in principle as we nut that out and finalise the detail into the full-blown free trade agreement.\n\n“The opportunity for Australian farmers, for example, back into the UK market.\n\n“If you take your lamb meat industry, currently it can face up to 80 per cent tariffs on Australian lamb going into the UK and you have a similar picture on your beef.\n\n“Our ambition, over a 10 to 15-year phasing period, is to see those tariffs come right down.” Well, the current High Commissioner of the United Kingdom to Australia would say that, wouldn't she? How come you never called out ScottMorrisonMP for travelling O/S while Australia is the only democracy who doesn't allow citizens to leave? I should know as I've applied 20 times for an exemption. He also didn't have to pay 3k in quarantine. auspol MurdochGutterMedia

Slow vaccine rollout may prove to be a ‘positive’ for Australia’s economy | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Peter Switzer says the slow pace of the vaccine rollout may actually turn out to be a “positive” for the nation’s economy since the closed borders are forcing Australians to spend their money at home. \n\n“In many ways the opening of our borders is going to be a very important step forward for the economy,” he said.\n\n“You’ve got to remember, something like $65 billion is spent by Australians every year when they go overseas. That money is here and, in a sense, it’s creating a lot of stimulus for the economy. \n\n“We wouldn’t want this to go on forever.\n\n“I think the AstraZeneca problems on one hand have slowed up the opening of our economy, but on the other hand I guess the fact that our vaccination program’s so slow … it might prove to be a positive in the end”. \n Stupid comment. Grasping to support a useless Morrison. Clive Palmer slammed for letters spreading COVID-19 misinformation, Vaccine Concern Hmm: Norway delays AstraZeneca vaccine ruling to further probe risks Poll: Australia 26% say NO to Vaccine What money? Most pax are living on a very tight budget. Prices for everything just keeping going up. Disposable income is just not there any more...

Judge dismisses claims Donald Trump violated protesters' civil rights by having park clearedA federal judge dismisses a majority of claims that protesters forcefully removed from a Washington park before the then-president walked to a nearby church for a photo op had their civil rights violated. This headline still implies that Trump had the park cleared. The inquest report specifically stated that the police had planned this clearing days before without any consultation from the Trump administration. Trump did take advantage of the clearing, rather than make it happen. Lots of Trumpists here, how's the recounts of the recounts, while recounts continue by the Cyber Ninjas?

‘Hard reality’ of minimum wage increase | Sky News AustraliaBusiness Council of Australia CEO Jennifer Westacott says Australia’s boosted minimum wage is “pretty high” compared to other countries but cautions that there is a “hard reality” that comes with it. \n\nThe Fair Work Commission this week announced an $18.80 a week minimum wage increase which will see the new base rate of pay at $20.33 an hour or about $770 a week – equating to more than $40,000 a year. \n\n“It’s a pretty high minimum wage relative to other countries,” Ms Westacott told Sky News Australia. \n\n“The commission has kind of delayed it for some of those sectors that are still at risk.\n\n“But for small business in some of those sectors at risk, and it’s a big impost, and if money is not coming in the door and you’re putting people’s wages up there’s only one choice for you – employ less people.\n\n“That’s the hard reality of these things.\n\n“I thought the commission made a careful decision, I thought their decision to delay things was right, of course we want to see people get higher wages, but you’ve got to be careful that you’re not adding risk.\n\n“We’re not sure what’s around the corner at the moment, and some of these sectors are still – they’re just getting back on their feet and they’ve got to be able to get that momentum and be able to sustain those wage increases, to sustain their business getting back on their feet.\n\n“It puts a risk, particularly for mid-sized small businesses.” Maybe take the millions handed to Execs and money from Jobseeker to people like Gerry Harvey and give it to the workers. Whats the average pay rise for a CEO these days? Yes. Let’s hope the poor don’t forget their station in life. Is it the high tax rate, or the soaring cost of living?
