SkillSelect - Occupation ceiling Vs Planning level

[voxtro]

What i could see from the SkillSelect's Occupation ceiling is that it sums to 40,000 odd visa. However the Planning level for 2012 -13 is at 190000 (according to Fact sheet 20 in DIAC website). I was wondering how they would reach the planning level target swith only 40k in current occupation ceiling. Will it be a monthly increase?

Is the 190,000 the figure for all types of Visa's not just skilled migration?

190000 is the total.. and the breakup goes like this for skilled..
