i have been hearing many EP rejected cases recently. It seems like gov is seriously tightening control over the influx of ppl like us. Anyone working in HR can shed light on this?
I was lucky for mine to be approved last month.

My office is right in the middle of Paragon, Orchard Cineleisure/313/Central/Centerpoint and 111 Somerset - and it's just too many cars, too many people, expensive food and CBD surcharge for taxis.

From what i know, anyone without a recognised degree or not working in a specialist, managerial, professional or in-demand type of occupation will be tough getting both EP or S-pass
