Nick and sez Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Finally us tradies have been given our break on the new WA SMP, what is more all the long hard stress and cash of the Vetassess and TRA means we dont have to go and pay money for the ielts test to prove to our commonwealth brothers that we in England are English and can speak and write it properly.... I was getting fed up with the idea of proving who i was from a country that created AUSTRALIA..... Good on all those on the new WA SMP and sorry to those guys who are not, but like all things the DIAC change like the wind... who knows whats next..:wacko: Nick(General Plumber)(Finally on a :idea:bloody SMP.)

Guest Jane1991 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I think its plain discrimination when you treat applicants differently because of their nationality. But then political correctness never really took hold in the neanderthal island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jane1991 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Applicants from certain countries are not required to submit IELTS score when claiming points for IELTS 6 level English. Even though English may be widely spoken in Commonwealth countries(and others as well) I think its politically incorrect to apply different standards to different applicant groups merely because of their citizenship. Back to the OP ...WA = Wait awhile. I think we all waited for a long time to see the WASMOL SMP :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We too are on a high at the moment, finally having the good news that we are on WA SMP is a great feeling!!! Gutted for all those who haven't been included, hang in there, hopefully there's a way around it. Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eddie Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Yes us too, still a little bewildered, but very happy to be on SMP. Was expecting the worse for us Toolmakers (Antipope), but proved wrong. Good luck to everyone on the SMP, another hurdle passed, onto the next............... Such a big blow for the peeps who have SS and are not on the SMP, no amount of words will make up for how sh*te you are all feeling Paul & Babs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JK2510 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I think Friday was a bittersweet day for many of us!! I always thought us tradies would be safe. We don't come across too many air conditioning engineers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
