Australia Immigration Made Easy

Australia's opposition political party, The Coalition, says Australia will not be able to cope with the future predicted population levels that are estimated to 36 million by 2050 and that increased immigration to Australia is to blame.

The Baird report that supports the changes to the skilled migration program announced in Feb 2010 that remove the incentives for overseas students applying to study in Australia in order to obtain permanent residence.

The UN has stated it is worried that the global economic downturn will fuel increasing levels of refugees and migrants as well as increases in xenophobia as people look for causes to their economic problems.

The Australian Government announced a 14 per cent reduction in the immigration intake to protect Australian Jobs.

The Australian Immigration Minister, Chris Evans, has urged the states to increase their use of state sponsored skilled migration in order to meet their demands for skilled labour.
