Australia had VERY strict immigration policies from what I remember in the ‘90s.
Seems like Australia is getting Islamized. When we were there for three weeks in 2013 whole towns north of Sydney are Muslim majorities. It may be too late for them.
I've visited Australia several times as a tourist with no problem at all.I loved it so much that I decided to explore the possibility of living there.Turns out that because 1) I didn't have a skill that was in high demand in the country and 2) that I was well into my fifties at the time I didn't have a prayer of getting in.
I understand that decision.Admitting me might deny a native born Aussie a job *and* given that I was much closer to the grave than to the cradle I very well might place a burden on the country's health system and in other ways as well.
Steve Wozniak paid Five million for citizenship in Australia a year or so ago. Here we pay them to come.......oh well.
