Australian Immigration
Skilled migration rules
relaxed for Northern Territory
Australia
has relaxed its skilled migration rules for the Northern Territory (NT) to
address skilled worker shortages in the region.
The
relaxed rules will allow employers to fill critical skills shortages in the NT,
with the region suffering from an inadequately skilled local workforce.
The
NT’s Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) will also be updated to
increase the number of skilled migrants who can travel to and work in the
region.

Australia relaxing the NT skilled migration rules and updating its DAMA!
AU urged to reform temporary
skilled migration program
Australia
should redesign its temporary skilled migration program to lift the living
standards of the Australian population.
According
to a new Grattan Institute report, the current migration program is unpopular
with the Australian public, hinders potential benefits of temporary skilled
migration, and allows immoral employers to exploit workers.
The
report also suggests Australia should introduce a new temporary skilled visa
that will lift Australians’ living standards, boost the budget, attract global
talent and reduce exploitation of workers.

program!

Famous Australians – Sir Donald Bradman!
Being a
cricketing nation, Australia has produced numerous famous cricketers. From the
legendary spin wizard Shane Warne to one of the country’s greatest captains
Steve Waugh – Australia has had unmatched contributions to cricket. However,
standing head and shoulders above everyone else is Sir Donald Bradman – the
greatest Australian cricketer of all time!
Born on
August 27, 1908, Sir Donald Bradman had an unconventional practice routine
during his childhood. In his old family home, he used to toss a golf ball
against a corrugated tank stand and hit it back as it came speeding towards
him. This routine helped him hone his reflexes and develop into a cricketing
prodigy from the school level.
After
scoring his first century at the age of twelve, the Don kept making a name for
himself by scoring double and triple centuries for fun. His reputation spread
quickly and led to his First-class debut, before he was called up to the
national team, where he quickly caused a stir in the international cricketing
scene with his impeccable batting displays. Soon after his debut, he had made a
name for himself as someone who struck fear into the hearts of opposition
bowlers and got the crowd on their feet whenever he entered the field.
Throughout
his legendary career, the Don set and broke a plethora of records. However, his
test batting average of 99.94 stands above all else, and remains unmatched to
this day.
