hold water? U mean hold the whole dam.

U only got one example. I got ten thousand examples. Like my cousin who is a master grad from Uni of melb, but can't get hold of an engineering job for 4 years counting. He currently works as a waiter.

Then I know a former classmate who was a top scorer in his SAM, then went on to work high position in two MNCs in Malaysia...came to Australia for his kids education, 6 months can't get a job. Last i heard he was a librarian.

For every success in Australia, there's probably 10 failures.

Come on, there's gotta be some common sense. What is Australia really riding on???? On drugs ! Mining sector boom ! Where the heck is the job creation? Its not as if USA could come up with Silicon Valley and Space port, to create new job sectors. Or Malaysia, due to our low exchange rates were able to attract foreign manufacturing plants in the 80s and 90s...to create jobs...still present today.

Australia still have the some old, reliance on service sector. Why do they need migrants? Probably their workforce are too lazy? orthey moved up the value chain, nobody willing to take up their banggla jobs, so they take us migrants to do their dirty work.

Australia GDP may have grown...into a benemoth but it hasn't really translated into anything intrinsic. Their closing down their . manufacturing due to high exchange rates...they are offering waiter, toilet cleaning, garbage man jobs to banggla migrants. They don't have enough manpower for their farms, shopping malls and restaurants. But over the years, those white collar jobs that is what the migrants really aim for, Australia haven't done anything creative to create more of those jobs. Instead migrants have to compete with Australia for these positions. You have to be really damn smart to beat the Aussie for the role.
