New South Wales & Victoria: The federal government has been urged to quickly approve the visa.
In fact, the state government has already "come here" before. About a month ago, the governors of New South Wales and Victoria took the lead in making statements, pushing the new federal government that had just come to power as soon as possible. When dealing with the issue of visa processing, the governor did not make comments in the media as soon as he opened his mouth, but directly contacted the Prime Minister. For details, please see:
’s starting point at the time was that there was a shortage of people. “Visa applications for some skilled workers require 18 It will take months to complete the trial, which needs to be solved and needs to be solved quickly.”
The labor shortage has not improved, and the situation in many states is severe
Now, one month later, the problem of worker shortage and skills shortage has not substantially improved, and Australia’s unemployment rate has not improved. Falling to a 48-year low, construction, hotel services, administration and public utilities all have major vacancies. There were 480,100 vacancies in May, an increase of 13.8% from February.
Western Australia is the most severe, with 13,200 more vacancies than unemployed people. Victoria and the other two states also have higher vacancy rates than unemployed people. New South Wales has just stepped over the line, with only 200 fewer vacancies than unemployed people. From the picture below, you can see that ACT is also lacking, but the nature of the capital is rather special, with more governments and government-related jobs.
So the anxious state governments have come to "support measures" again. From the news, I know that at least New South Wales, Victoria, Northern Territory and Western Australia.
Look at the governors’ euphemistic push to support increased immigration
Of course, the state government cannot speak so directly and straightforwardly to employers or the business community, and needs to leave more room.
They hope that the federal government will discuss strengthening Australia's skilled immigration system at the September Jobs Summit, and a targeted approach must be taken to expedite the entry of urgently needed workers into Australia.
NSW -
Treasurer said: "We will ask the federal government to take a targeted consultation approach to skilled migration numbers. Each state will need to tell the federal government their specific requirements and areas that need to be addressed."
Victoria - —
Acting Governor Jacinta Allan blamed the current situation on "many years of (federal) inaction in Canberra", adding: "It's fantastic that we now have a federal partner full of energy and ideas."
"Thousands of (visa) applications Delays have made it difficult for our economy to recover, so increased skills and immigration are now needed. We welcome the action taken by the federal government to date and believe more can be done to boost skilled migration to attract more workers faster. Go here.
Well... Victoria has been controlled by the Labor Party for many years, and the federal government was previously governed by the Alliance Party, so it is more daring to speak out.
The governor of the Northern Territory -
said: "The first priority of our government is to ensure the jobs of the residents of the territory, but we Understanding that acquiring and retaining an appropriately skilled workforce is a critical issue for many employers. "
Federal Finance Ministers Summit seeks "general consensus"
Faced with the current calls and rumors, the Federal Finance Minister said that he does not expect all summit participants to agree on every issue, but he hopes to obtain "general consensus." , and perhaps some concrete policy ideas can be gleaned from the two-day summit in September, which will be attended by about 100 people, including business and union leaders, state governments and communities. representatives of groups, etc.
As the minister said, with so many people making suggestions during the two-day summit, it is definitely impossible to reach specific policies and detailed measures. What can be reached is a consensus on the general direction, such as increasing or maintaining migrant (Skilled Immigration) quota, or an increased range
When it comes to state governments, state guarantees come to mind. Each state is also anxiously waiting for the federal government to determine and issue nomination quotas. We know that most states/territories require it this fiscal year. More nomination quotas.
Western Australia’s policies and lists are ready, and we should be able to open the application and issue invitations as soon as we get the quota; Tasmania said yesterday that the new policy has been approved, and we will open the application and publish the complete policy just after we get the quota. Please provide details. See:
Tasmanian officials announced a new policy: there are no compulsory courses, occupations, and employment requirements for local students, and job channels are broadened.
Canberra, which is more anxious, has prepared policies and lists, and has sent out the first round of matrix invitations. General applicants were issued 46 190s and 65 491s; small business 190s were issued 4, and the minimum invitation score was 90; small business 491s were issued 3, and the minimum score was 75 points; overseas applicants were issued 6 190s and 106 491s. Overall, the number is really quite large, and nominations have been approved and work has started across the board.
