I'm gutted to hear that news. I see so many with hopes of getting out of this country and Oz is certainly one of the top few options for us here. I wouldn't stop there though mate, i'd just choose a different country to be honest.

I agree with the general opinion of all the above too. Our country is far too slack with our trades, 'they' seem to want to get the guys born here over-qualified to get jobs yet if you're not from here you tend to be able to jump into jobs. It's mad!

Just heard a friend of mine that's a welder managed to flee to Oz by blagging on his forms saying he was some kind of engineer or something. Maybe we're being too honest?
