Population Minister Alan Tudge has revealed Australia’s new strategy to tackle capital city congestion by pushing skilled migrants to regional centres. Inspired by Canada’s migration model, the move would help with the distribution of population growth.
The Morrison Government has already dropped the annual migration cap to 160,000, with 23,000 places falling under regional skilled visas which will require applicants to live in non-capital cities for three years. “I think we’ll be overwhelmed by people applying this,” Mr Tudge said. “The evidence does show once you've been there for a few years, you put your roots down and that’s what we’re expecting here.
Two words: NO JOBS.
😂😂😂 This is yet another dumbass policy from a government with no actual policies. Why oh why Queensland?
Country towns will have huge cultural takeover. Most of these places are losing their kids to cities where the jobs are
Same regional centres where residents face aging crumbling infrastructure, underfunded services, water shortages, higher costs for basics, abysmal healthcare, excessive wait times for emergency & pathetic education ? Yeah that's the answer.
In rural areas Aussies are going without jobs because they are given to the migrants.i have had the pleasure of working with these skilled* migrants and i tell you they do not follow company protocols & policies, state laws and 90% are lazy & if you are a woman, you dont exist.
Who asked people in regional centres if they wanted any migrants? Oh and where is the water and other vital infrastructure going to came from? The regions are used to waiting for decades for any promise of funding to be kept, while the cities keep bloated bureaucracies.
Control orders sound unconstitutional. So regionals can underplay? Scandalous. Oppression if the downtrodden. Try it out on welfare recipients, then work your way up. The world is watching....
Skilled migrants? 🙄 how many uber drivers do regional towns need? What a crock
Lol, more “congestion busting” yada yada from AlanTudgeMP who knows in a free society you cannot force legal migrants to settle outside Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane if they don’t want to live there. And they don’t. It’s BS writ large.
Don't want migrants
This old chestnut
Who have no water!
They have destroyed our cities through mass immigration, don't let them now destroy our iconic regional centres. It's all a con to turn our right wing regional centres into left wing socialist voting hell holes.
Good luck with all that.
