Duh Yeah, because whilst the Gov keep letting freeloaders in to England to suck off the hardworkers of this fine Country then more an more of the hardworkers are going to spend there hard earned to find somewhere better to bring up their familys, which WILL get harder an harder as time goes on an will also cost more an more of that hard earned.
An before anyone has a pop at me, Mrs KP included i am not slating this country (as much as i'd like too(roofer by trade) it's the PC brigade an the Big Gov thats making us all this way.

HI mark ,
yes I do think that australia is making things difficult for people to emigrate from the uk. every year they change the rules and I just wonder if they know what they are doing ,you read other peoples stories on this webb site and I think people will try to emigrate somewhere else if australia does not stop moving the goal posts.
I think that if you have some money and speak english are willing to work then that should be enough.

Australia probably isn't making it harder. If more are looking at emmigration then Australia can afford to become more selective. The previous gov (Labor - Keating) 10 years ago appeared to favour asian immigration as the realism that Australia is an asiatic country & its survival & prosperity is linked to asia (china particularly). This wasn't a popular move & after the Libs got in (cons) then the pendulum swung back a little. We got in on that policy change (almost certainly). It took 18 months to 3 years to get a visa at that time. The recent emphasis on english tests only reinforces the policy that english speakers are favoured in my view (and with some good reasons as well as not not so good I might add).
Don't forget you're not being allowed to emmigrate to Australia because they think you're a good bloke (or Sheila). You're allowed in to fulfil an economic need. As the need changes so do the goal posts I suspect.
For us the up side to Australia's rampant racism is that since the wave of asian immigration has occurred pommy bashing (bashing - not literally speaking) has subsided. I've never really experienced but others recall different times. :)
I would argue that it is becoming easier as the system is quite transparent and in fact immigration from Asia increased dramatically under Keating and has continued under Howard, but he probably prfers UK migrants :)

I agree with Lynne - once I'm in they can do what they want!!!!
Seriously, though they do change the MODL lists and so once they've got enough people from a certain trade they will remove from the list, so it would be a bummer if you're trade was to disapear from the list.

I think we also have to remeber that it isn't only brits who want to live in Aus, just about every other nation in the world will be sending off applications. Most countries teach English as a second language so the english test will probably only be a formality for some.

My two bobs worth again....forgot to mention, not just short term skill needs, it is also due to medium long term demographics, to ensure younger generations of taxpayers, especially with baby boomers retiring and ageing population.
