Australia to settle more immigrants outside major cities

Yeah, send them out bush where there are no jobs and no water. What a wonderful idea, NOT! A better idea would be to curb the immigration until there are sufficient employment opportunities (and water) to sustain population increases in rural Australia.

On the face of it this seems like a logical decision. However, large numberss of immigrants in local areas may hinder assimilation into Australian society. Lack of assimilation can lead to worse problems down the road.

Where'd you get that half-baked idea of sending people outback where there's no water or jobs???

Sorry - but get real.

Since when does regional mean dire straits?

SInce when for example have Adelaide, Geelong, Canberra, Ballarat etc, etc etc been "out bush"?

The plan is to ease the pressure, the saturation point if you like of mass unsustainable centralized urbanization in the Big Cities.

Browny1:

Was gonna make a dire straits joke since you brought up, but found out they were actually British, not Australian. Well, that ain't workin...

The problem is clean water, healthcare and job in the bush. The small town does not have a regular sitting doctor and mostly nurse will be helping patient at local clinics and will send the patient to another bigger town or city for treatment.

The migrants will be probably working in the vegetable farm or orchard for picking up apples and orange, and other fruits and vegetable as well as working with animals. I met with some overseas trained doctors came to Australia with spouse visa and they are working as a registered nurse at a nursing home because they do not want to go to sit an exam and English language test. They know they will fail to past exam and test. Also, they do not want to go to the bush.

Australia needs migrants who desire to work in livestock farm, poultry farm, orchard and vegetable farm and slaughterhouse where labor shortages in the rural farming community. Also overseas trained doctors who have passed recognized examinations or have completed training through an Australia Medical Board approved competent authority.

The Government's offer was targeted to the peoples who were already living in Australia with bridging visa, work visa and the overseas student who has finished studying and graduate from Australia University and Vocational school who apply for Permanent Resident Visa. Some overseas students are already taking the Government offers and went to work on the farm.

I do not know what kind of job they will give to the skilled migrant like engineer in the bush. Most of the migrants come from India, Pakistan and Africa are working as Taxi driver and Uber driver. South East Asian migrants are working at a factory and restaurant.

The people from small town said they need mechanic, nurse and doctor in their town. Some small town offers free home accommodation for anyone who move to their town.

They can move to the city if they have survived the harsh conditions and integrated into the local community in isolated rural areas for 3 years. If you're wildlife lover and then there are plenty of Kangaroos, birds and wombats but not a Koala. I love the bush but I cannot live there for 3 years.

Australian government dancing to the beat of the UN imagration drum again.

Theres people in the bush screaming out jobs and services now

And probably one of the biggest migration from the bush to the city so aussies can have a decent life happening right now.

We get this crap from our government everytime the UN wants to regularly dump thousands of so called 3rd world skilled workers. .

And what do we get ?

Longer unemployment , hospital lines and higer taxes to pay for it...

This situation is no good for Australia or its people .

Its just wrong and many locals not happy with the immigration situation.
