In the past two weeks, there has been constant news about Australia’s skilled migration reform. The reforms of employer sponsorship, skills assessment and working holiday visa have all been advanced.

This is because the recent Labor government is indeed planning big moves, and the Minister of Home Affairs is expected to announce an migration strategy within two weeks.

A simpler system? A smaller system? Better-targeted selection?

Clare O’Neil’s wording on this migration strategy has so far been vague.

She said it changedThe overall impact is not to increase migration to Australia, the effect of the changes will be to slightly reduce the size of the system.

“This review and policy changes are not about how many, it’s about who and making sure we get the best out of this system for the country.”

Given that the information is very limited, it is also difficult to analyze in detail.

I can only say that we can combine it a little bit.There are some interesting reform news so far, and they all seem to be related to employer sponsorships., such as the high-paying employer sponsorship channel, for example, legislation that allows short-term single occupations to be directly transferred to PR should be released before the end of 2023, etc. It is estimated that this strategy will be more related to employer sponsorship?

I hope there will be more details by then after it has been brewing for so long.

likeIf the reform is progressing slowly but within expectations, the influx of too many immigrants in a short period of time is beyond the Labor Party’s expectations. Recently, this is also an issue that they have been frequently criticized for.

/Net overseas migration is far above expectations. What happens next?

To be clear, “migration” below refers to:

Refers to visa holders who can stay in Australia for a long time.mainly temporary visa holders such as 408, 500 and 485,while permanent visas make up a relatively small share.

In the budget announced in March 2022,The Treasury forecast net overseas migration by June 2023 to be 180,000, but by May 2023 the actual figure was 400,000, more than double.Far exceeded expectations and plans.

AMP chief economist Shane Oliver expects the number to rise further to 498,000, while migration expert Rizvi expects it to be 470,000.

Shane Oliver estimates that net overseas migration will need to be reduced to about 200,000 a year to be consistent with Australia’s current construction industry and future housing supply capacity.

opposition partyHe criticized the Labor Party for not being decisive enough in handling the 408 visa and that the 408 visa should be canceled faster and immediately. Their spokesman said: “Before the last election, the number of 408 visa applications was 26,810 and there are now 128,796 visa holders.In other words, more 408 visas have effectively been granted after COVID than during the COVID period.”

Migration Expert RizviIt is believed that the sudden termination of the visa is unreasonable. If it is said that it is gone, many people who are already in the country will be forced to immediately find an alternative, such as applying for an asylum visa. This is even more not a good idea, so a transition period needs to be left.

But to be honest, it took nearly a year from the time the Labor Party announced that it would cancel 408 until Genuine announced its plan.

The editor feels that now is the complete opposite of the same period last year. At that time, it was said that there was so much shortage, but now it is said that it is so crowded. What have you experienced in the middle? probably because I experienced too much in the middle and was too full.
