进入论坛>>澳移民配额话题探讨

编译自《悉尼晨锋报》这是十几年里澳洲首次砍掉移民配额，因为澳洲政府将致力于保护本地工人以应付来势汹汹的金融危机。

移民部长CHRIS EVANS将在今天宣布，明年的技术移民配额将从今年的133，500名下调到115，000，减少幅度高达14%。而受到冲击最大的将是技术移民。

做出这个决定的原因，主要因为来自失业率高企的压力，上周失业率已经攀升到5.2%，这个数字还有望攀升，所以，澳洲政府不得不考虑减少移民配额。

移民部长表示：澳洲的经济，在金融危机的影响下，已经出现了改变。因此，我们不得不小心翼翼地减少移民配额。这个重大的调整，将影响双重影响到澳洲的紧缺职业名单。一些与建筑和手工业的紧缺职业将会从名单上去除，这样旨在让澳洲的公司在本地寻找建筑工人，管工，焊接工，木工；但是，例如一些像护士，医生，工程师和IT工人还将保留在紧缺职业名单里。

移民部长声称：这个调整，旨在吸收那些可以填补紧缺的工人，而不是和本地人竞争。在某些行业里，工人短缺的现象还是很严重，比如说医疗行业，这个行业还是一直在寻找工人，同时，他们的薪水和工作条件也受到了保护。

移民部这次的举动，迎合工会的要求，但是却令商业界大为失望；商业界表示，这是一种非常短视的行为！！！

澳洲建筑森林采矿及能源工会的主席JOHN SUTTON表示，工会已经要求政府砍掉建筑工人的移民配额，那些正在裁员的澳洲建筑公司不再需要外国工人了。

但是，澳洲工业组织首席主席表示，这次姗姗来迟的移民政策调整将会缩短紧缺职业的名单，其影响力将在两年后显现。到了那时候，澳洲经济有可能与现在大有不同。

昨天，澳洲财长表示，二月份的失业率比预期的要糟糕，但这并不意味着失业率将高企到7%，失业率更不会在圣诞节前高企到10%。他说，这次的金融危机，毫无疑问地，将冲击了澳洲的就业市场。

农业部长也拒绝预测这个失业率的数字，他表示，现在来说，抛出一个失业率预估的数字，毫无意义。

与此同时，上周六，有137名船民已经被澳洲海军截获，他们将被安排到圣诞岛等待健康，身份，保安测试。

自9.29日以来，大约有180名船民已经抵达澳洲水域；澳洲家庭事务部长表示，这次的成功阻截显示了澳洲海军面对恫吓的应付能力。而反对党的移民事务发言人则表示，这已经显示澳洲被那些走私人口的蛇头玩转于股掌之间，澳洲的移民政策正在让人口走私的蛇头们更加容易吸引满意的客户。他们如果想在澳洲定居，想在澳洲寻求庇护，必须等到澳洲的移民部官员到场之后。

狼来了：澳洲将铁定减少技术移民配额

澳洲政府正考虑—大幅消减技术移民配额

Immigration slashed to protect jobs

THE record immigration intake will be cut for the first time in more than a decade as the Government tries to preserve jobs in a deteriorating global economy.

The Immigration Minister, Chris Evans, will announce a 14 per cent cut to the skilled migration program today, capping the number of workers to enter Australia next year at 115,000, down from 133,500 in 2008-09.

Skilled workers make up the majority of migrants.

The decision to cut back on foreign workers comes as pressure mounts on the Government after last week's jump in unemployment to 5.2 per cent.

"The economic circumstances in Australia have changed as a result of the global financial crisis," Senator Evans said. "It is prudent to reduce this year's migration intake accordingly."[page]

The cuts will be coupled with deletions to the critical skills list, which specifies which jobs are open to migrants. Trades in building and manufacturing will be removed, forcing companies to find bricklayers, plumbers, welders and carpenters domestically. Professions still experiencing skills shortages will be immune, such as nurses, doctors, engineers and information technology workers..

Senator Evans says Australia needs a more targeted list "so that migrant workers are meeting skills shortages and not competing with locals for jobs".

"There are still skills shortages in some sectors, such as health care, and these measures will enable industry to continue to source the skilled professionals they need while protecting local jobs and the wages and conditions of Australian workers."

The move is likely to please unions but upset businesses, which have warned against "short-sighted" migration cuts.

The national secretary of the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union, John Sutton, has argued for construction to be removed from the list. Imported workers were not needed when big companies were sacking Australian workers, he said.

But the Australian Industry Group has said a time lag in migration meant the consequences of adjusted migration numbers and a shortened critical skills list could take up to two years to show. By that time, economic conditions could be vastly different, the chief executive, Heather Ridout, has said.

Yesterday the Treasurer, Wayne Swan, said the worse than expected unemployment rate in February did not necessarily mean the jobless rate would eclipse the official forecast of 7 per cent and reach 10 per cent by Christmas. "But with this global recession and in the savagery of its impact, it can really have a substantial impact on employment in Australia, there's no doubt about that."

The Agriculture Minister, Tony Burke, also declined to say whether he expected unemployment to outstrip forecasts, saying "I don't think it's helpful for me to be throwing numbers around."

Meanwhile, a boat carrying 54 people was caught off the north-east coast of Darwin after illegally entering Australian waters.

The navy intercepted the vessel on Saturday night after a customs plane flew over on a tip off from a Northern Territory park ranger.

It is not yet known if any of the passengers are seeking asylum.

The group will be taken to Christmas Island where 137 others await health, security and identity checks.

Since September 29, 180 people have arrived in Australian waters.

The Minister for Home Affairs, Bob Debus, said the handling of the latest arrival demonstrated Australia's ability to respond to "maritime threats".

But the Opposition immigration spokeswoman, Sharman Stone, said it showed people smugglers were attracting "satisfied clients" and Australia was playing into these people's hands. "These people want to be located. Claims for asylum cannot succeed until people are met by officials," she said.
