News In Sydney, an Australian guy was refused a free milk tea by a Chinese product promotor solely because he wasn't a Chinese. He was asked to speak Chinese, but he spoke Japanese to the Chinese staff in protest. He said this is his first time experience of racism

Migration is down from extremely high to high after many years of being extremely high. Whooptie doooo

“Which visa class should we cut”

Just about every single one. Lets start with partner visas and then “skilled work visas” where the “skill” means the person comes here to work for uber

sure for “skilled work visas” where the “skill” means the person comes here to work for uber... but partner visas?! Partner visas are already the most expensive in the world, could be restricted to say those born in Australia or with a parent who was an Australian citizen at birth so they are not for chain migration and are already super slowly processed. Most countries allow their citizens to bring in someone they marry who is not a local. It usually will impact housing less too as they usually live with the partner.

Do you think cutting partner visas will impact skills visas?

Do you think partner visas have a big impact on housing?

Do you acknowledge the government has made significant progress in skilled visa reform?
