Your Question has nothing to do with Politics & Government - Its about YOU but I will give YOU an answer.\nI have met people like you abroad and they are usually a pain in the ass.\nI live overseas and the British are highly respected and in any social context  I avoid people like you,as you are an embarrassment.\nIf I had the power and you talked in my presence like this overseas, as you say you do, I would strip you of your nationality and send you to live in a country of that you think is so much better.\nWhy not go to live in Australia.\nBut I am sure you are one of these people who moan about everything yet contribute nothing - lots (too many) of you around.\nAs to your actual Question - "Does it make you Unpatriotic" Yes, but actually no one cares about your silly oppinion, as you are probably half pissed in some bar in Spain.

There are a couple of issues here and you have hit one of them on the head.\n\nThe knock on effect is that having sourced the workers from overseas there will be no jobs for School leavers at all, so it's onto Uni or the dole. Note the recent policy change announcement to keep Kids in school till 18!\n\nThe other is that the domestic birth rate is still falling, I believe in part due to the requirement for a second income in order to afford a mortgage these days.

Only and Only mixing more and more with internation people will make u understand and ease the tension the world is having for a quite long time now.I am a bangladeshi and been to australia and stayed there for 7 years-and that really made me understand why the Australian authority always rejects south east asia's peoples application to allow them to stay in their country---its not xenophobia(fear of aliens) as the south east media would like to potray about the mentality of australian people.I am not gonna elaborate on that,but I know now that most australian people are one the most honest,decent,fun loving,kind hearted nation on earth.I met the british,the greeks and a lot of other people to understand that they started to hate the muslims or arabs or asians only after the media started this dirty game of potraying foreigners(from arab and asia)as evils.If u are an american,u r now potrayed as evil as well in the middle eastern too.But,to be very honest-if u could go pass the media mayhem and say hello to an young bangladeshi,you are definitely going to end up being freinds.....every human being has the same emotions....but he or she is right now a bit of hesitant because of the media.Remember one thing,If u are looking at an animal and feel scared,it is also feeling the same about you.And this rule is applicabale to human beings too.....bye for now.Have a truly nice life full with friends everywhere in the globe unlike the politicians.

Well, I here is a link that I've found useful. It talks a lot about the issue, and has a lot of resources: http://www.anu.edu.au/BoZo/Scott/Studentresources.html

Yes, I firmly beleive we should close the borders immediately!!! A couple of years ago the Australians sent a navy frigate to make sure that a boat load of immigrants did not enter, we should be this stringent, and has anyone ever seen how hard it is to emmigrate to a place like new zealand ( you have to show you would be of benefit to the country and if you want to start a business employ two nationals by the end of the first year) I do not accept the 'it helps the econonomy' argument put forward by sympathisers to these people. With unemployment at nearly 2 million nationwide now we should be saying that we will not allow any more in until a large proportion of these people are in work.    If we need better skilled people then do more to train these people instead of giving handout after handout, I do feel that the country is becoming 'ghettoised' for want of a better word and this does not help multiculturalism in the least - it detracts from it and it is no particular factors fault (i.e everyone wants to live with people like them). Of  course I sympathise absoloutley with genuine assylum seekers and the like, however the law states that they should seek refuge in the first safe country they get to, which should make us last in line. In doing what Blair & Co are doing at the momment we are just storing problems for the future - but then a Prime Minister who has already said he does not intend to serve another term in office is hardly going to worry about that now is he!!!

I just got a email from a friend regarding Australia. They are having some immigrant Muslim problems. The radicals are getting out of hand. The government and citizen are dealing with it. One signs said" if you don't like our language, culture and laws get the hell out". \nA few years back they had a real Chinese illegal problem ships dumping of them. They dealt with it rather fast.They cut out chain immigration better now as family unification.\n\nThat is as much as I know on this new immigration anti terrorist issue, but I think that is about as much information that one will get. Most will probably be opinion depending on their side. I have no agenda.

This is a trick question.\n\nAustralia became independent in 1901.\n\nSo, they were subject to the laws of Great Britain before then. Australia did not make their own laws until 1901.

I think you may have these words confused.  There is Emigration, which is the movement of people out of their country of birth. There is also Immigration, which is the movement of people into another country.  You would say you were an emigrant if you were speaking to someone in the country you were leaving.  You would say you were an immigrant if you were speaking to someone in the country you had just arrived in.  The effects of emigration relate to the effects of losing population, while the effects of immigration relate to the effects of gaining population.  In Australia, we have migrants from many overseas countries.  They bring diversity to our country, enriching our culture with their different customs, foods, and clothing.  They also provide us with skilled workers who may not be available from within the people who were born here.  Emigration is caused by people wanting to find a better life, particularly for their children.  They may be leaving behind great difficulties like poverty and unemployment, in the hope of finding greater opportunities in the country they are going to.

WorkChoices (The Workplace Relations Amendment)   legislation come into effect in Australia on 27th March 2006.\n\n"WorkChoices" is the collective name of a series of amendments to Australian labour law made by the Howard Government in 2005.The amendments were introduced into the House of Representatives on 2 November 2005 and were accepted by the Senate on 2 December 2005. The changes came into effect on 27th March 2006.\n\nThe changes include:\n>>the formation of a single national industrial system to replace the separate state and federal systems for constitutional corporations; \n>>the establishment of a body to be known as the Australian Fair Pay Commission to replace National Wage Cases at the Australian Industrial Relations Commission (AIRC); \n>>the streamlining of Certified Agreement and Australian Workplace Agreement making, including increasing the maximum agreement life from three years to five years; \n>>a reduction in allowable award matters; \n>>the creation of legislation for five minimum workplace conditions; \n>>the exemption of companies with fewer than 101 employees from unfair dismissal laws; \n>>the exemption of all companies from unfair dismissal laws where a dismissal is for a bona fide operational reason; \n>>increased restrictions on allowable industrial action; \nmandating secret ballots for industrial action; \n>>discouraging pattern bargaining and industry-wide industrial action. \n\nOn October 9, 2005 the Howard Government launched its "WorkChoices" guide and announced that some further changes and concessions had been made to the package, the concessions widely credited as being the result of union lobbying. The Opposition Australian Labor Party described it as "sugar-coating a poison pill"; the Australian Council of Trade Unions described it as merely a "re-presentation" of the old package.\n\nWork Choices) Bill 2005 (Cth) was introduced into the Australian House of Representatives on November 2, 2005 by the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, Kevin Andrews.\nThe Bill passed through the House of Representatives on 10 November and was introduced into the Senate later that day by Special Minister of State, Senator Eric Abetz. The Bill was passed, with amendments, by the Senate, by a vote of 35-33 on 2 December 2005.The Bill received the Royal Assent on 14 December and the parts concerning the Australian Fair Pay Commission, wages for school based trainees and apprentices, and redundancy pay for small employers became enacted immediately from that date. The Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations released the first set of regulations for the bill on 17 March 2006 and following that the complete act - titled in full as the Workplace Relations Act 1996, Act No. 86 of 1988 as amended - was proclaimed by Australia's Governor-General Michael Jeffery. The act commenced on 27 March 2006.\n\nThe Australia's Prime Minister, John Howard believed this with this bill, more jobs will be generated in the small business sector as a result of the removal of the absurd job-destroying unfair dismissal laws, and the greater flexibility for people to make workplace agreements at the enterprise level will lift productivity.\n\nIn response to the Howard Government's WorkChoices package, the Australian Council of Trade Unions, the peak association for Australian trade unions, launched its "Your Rights at Work" campaign opposing the changes.The week of action culminated on Friday 1 July 2005 with a "SkyChannel" meeting of union delegates and members organised by Unions NSW.On 15 November 2005, the ACTU organised a national day of protest, during which the ACTU estimated 546,000 people took part in marches and protests in Australia's state capitals and other cities.\n\nThe legislation is the most comprehensive change to industrial relations in Australia for almost a century

Back in 1990, the Australian Ambassdor to the US visited our college.  It was an interesting Q&A session and we got to see some things that really impressed me with Australia and its people. I found the labor laws to be rather interesting...especially in regard to overtime and so forth, not to mention just how powerful the labor unions are down there. One in particular stuck me...Bechtel was building a hydrogen peroxide plant down there and the unions were so tough, they hardly worked any overtime (since it's taxed at such a high rate)...in fact, the bulk of the crews were out the gate by 4pm each day.   If I ever could scrape up the money, I'd make a visit in a heartbeat.

That is a potential flaw of the New Zealand system. I remember when I was living there, that a similar situation happened in the early 1990's. Before you consider your system a failure, you must compare your expectations of a democracy with what is practical. Here in Australia, we have a similar system, but we have two houses. There is often a situation whereby one or two senators hold the balance of power, where they alone can block any legislation (this indeed lead to the late 1970's dismissal of the Whitlam Government, which was a failure of democracy). Is this fair? Perhaps.\n\nThe minority have the right to be represented, but do they have the right to force a compromise? These are all very complex philosophical discussions. At the end of the day, both Australia and New Zealand enjoy a very stable political environment and high standards of living. There are very few people that are not represented. Perhaps all not equally, but all to a degree.\n\nIf one of the numerous gold mining companies of the South Island started polluting one of the rivers, you can bet that both the opposition, minorities and majority will pass legislation or put an act in motion to protect you. You are a minority preventing a majority interest (the macroeconomic advantages from the profits of the company).\n\nYou must also consider what the "voice of the people" is. In Australia, we are quite multicultural. Earlier this week it was proposed to introduce a test on Australian values (which relates to the voice of the people) which migrants must pass to gain citizenship. But in such a multicultural society, what are the people's values? The best interpretation would be the laws of our country. They represent the underlying attitudes, values and beliefs of our society. And along with our societies changing values, the laws change. Now to apply this to your situation, any proposed changes in your laws will depend on you. Your elected representatives will consult the community on any major changes (see for Example "Andrew's Bill", an abortion bill introduced in the House of Representatives, Australia 1999). This is where the voice of the people will come out.\n\nDo not be upset because the government is not exactly a true representation of society, it will represent society's voice, in one way or another. If the government introduces a radical law which goes against your society's values, they will find themselves without jobs come next election.

1. What is work and who has the right to work in Australia? \nThe Migration Legislation defines work as "an activity that, in Australia, normally attracts remuneration" this means that any activity that normally attracts payment, irrespective of whether you are paid or given some other kind of reward is deemed to be work. \n\nAs a general rule, only Australia citizens, Australian permanent residents - that is, migrants who are not yet Australian citizens - and New Zealand citizens who have entered Australia on a valid passport, have unrestricted rights to employment in Australia. any other foreign national who wants to work in Australia must have a temporary visa that allows employment. \n\n2. Who can I employ in Australia? \nThis website offers assistance to Australian employers in their dealings with people already in Australia who MAY have the right to work while they are here. \n\nPeople who hold Australian permanent visas are entitled to work. People who hold an Australian temporary Resident visa may or may not have the right to work. For example, people on Visitor visa are not entitled to work in Australia. An employer needs to check a visa holder's work rights to ensure that they employ people who have the right to work in Australia. \n\nA guide on work rights, titled Don't give a job to an illegal worker is designed to help Australian employers check the work rights of people visiting Australia, and offers information about the issue of illegal workers in Australia. \n\n3. Can I work while holding a visitors visa? \nIf you want to work in Australia, it is important to obtain a visa that allows you the right to work. \n\nIf you hold a visitor visa of any type, including an ETA, you do not have permission to work in Australia. Penalties apply to holders of a visitor visa who do not abide by the 8101 'no work' condition and include cancellation of your visa and removal from Australia. \n\nThose wanting to work should consider the Working Holiday Maker program, or another visa that allows work. \n\n4. How do I prove to an employer that I have permission to work in Australia? \nWhen apply for a job, employers and labour suppliers will ask you to prove that you have the right to work in Australia before they give you the job. Be prepared to show your passport and your valid visa stating your work rights. \n\n\n5. What happens if I work without permission? \nIf you work without work right you commit an offence against the Migration Act 1958. People working illegally may have their visas cancelled and be subject to immediate removal from Australia. They can also be excluded from returning to Australia for a period of up to three years, or fined up to $10,000. \n\n6. Can I work while holding a Working Holiday visa? \nWorking holiday makers are permitted to do any kind of work of a temporary or casual nature. As the main puporse of the visit is for holiday and travel, work for longer than three months with any one employer is not allowed. \n\n7. How many hours may overseas students work? \nAs an overseas student in Australia, you should have enough money to support yourself and your family for the entire time that you are studying. You are not automatically given the right to work once you are in Australia. If you do need to get a job while studying, you will need to apply for and get a new student visa with permission to work attached as a condition of that visa. \n\nStudents and dependents can only apply for a visa with work rights after they arrive in Australia and the student has begun studying. There is an application charge for a student visa with permission to work. \n\nIf a student visa with work rights is granted, you will only be allowed to work for 20 hours a week while the course you are studying is in session unless that work is a registered component of the course. However, you can work for longer periods during your holidays. \n\nDependants of student visa holders may generally work up to
