Warning Australia to not blindly follow the US into conflict is probably good advice. Is North Korea smarter than recent Australian governments?

quote:“We’re being tarred with the same brush … [the plan] doesn’t differentiate where people have come from,” Sinkins told Guardian Australia. “We’re from a Christian background, we speak English, and there’s the shared heritage between Australia and England. And yet we have to take an English-language test, to prove certain things that are kind of obvious. It’s unsettling.”

Was going to post this too. Ian Sinkins, a British electrical engineer in Australia on a temporary skilled class 457 visa, has a serious beef with Australia’s proposed new citizenship requirements. The changes, announced by the Turnbull government on Thursday, would require aspiring citizens to sit an English-language test, prove a commitment to Australian values and live in the country for four years as a permanent resident, instead of one. “We’re being tarred with the same brush … [the plan] doesn’t differentiate where people have come from,” Sinkins told Guardian Australia. “We’re from a Christian background, we speak English, and there’s the shared heritage between Australia and England. And yet we have to take an English-language test, to prove certain things that are kind of obvious. It’s unsettling.”

More 457 chat, lots of people at universities are freaking out too, given how it's very common for researchers to come into the country on 457 visas. Now that there's no clarity on what will replace the 457s, it's substantially jeopardising research planning.

Now that there's no clarity on what will replace the 457s, it's substantially jeopardising research planning. There's similar concern in medicine; overseas trained doctors are brought here on 457 visas to fill areas of skill shortages, particularly in rural and remote areas.
