Hi all,
I'm reading an article online in the age at the moment "immigration numbers plummet by half".
Anyway, the article is taking about immigration being down, the skills shortage etc....it's the comments section at the bottom that worries me.
Most people that have commented say there isn't a skills shortage and are in favour of immigration being cut, that they don't want the country growing anymore, lack of space, resources and immigrants taking jobs that should be for their children.
Have any of you in Oz experienced negativity at being an immigrant or is it something you worry about?
We were there from 2004 to 2006 and we got the backpacker tag in Sydney so left and went to Melbourne, but that was it. I know things have changed since then, but do you think it's something to be concerned about?
Also, do you think there is geniune skills shortage?
