I don't think anyone is keen on it. The fact is though we need migration in some form to fill skill gaps, especially short term. As the pandemic demonstrated, Australia will have major skills shortages if the migration tap is turned off completely. The bigger issue with migration though is the governments complete inability to future-proof services (infrastructure, healthcare, etc) for population group. We seem to consistently be behind the curve here.

I was thinking along the lines of nurses, other health workers, hospitality people (chefs) among other things. With nursing and healthcare specifically, because of the requirement on Visa's to work in the regions, skilled migrants are an unfortunate necessitybecause they do prop up critical regional workforces.

Australian's dont want to do those jobs unfortunately.

Honestly, can we breed some strong outdoorsy types for the trades, Australia is in desperate need of those more than office workers.

Then only let in nurses and doctors. And hospitality workers can be entirely migrant workers - they live and work here on fixed contracts then return home.

Australians don't want a lot of jobs. They do them because they pay better than alternatives.

This can't happen if you permanently flood the market with foreign workers. Then wages don't grow, and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy .

It would be good if we could get this right. Unfortunately the business lobby has been very effective at expanding the skilled migration list a bit too generously.

They especially dont want these jobs though and they dont do them (the latter being the difference). Also, interestingly you have highlighted a central argument which has largely restricted skilled migration in the trades. That argument has successfully been made by..the CFMEU. Could it be true, Sylvia and the CFMEU on the same page...
