Critical skills

I don't get it?

Both Avionics and Mechanical trades are listed as critical skills, therefore you can get a 457 visa (if you are qualified), and migrate to Aust from anywhere!

At the same time, our state govt doesn't give a rat's xxx about how many jobs are flooding out of NSW. First it was north, when the QLD govt sponsored many aviation jobs to SE QLD. Now it's to VIC.

When will the glut of unemployed technicians prevail upon the Federal govt to remove the 457 visa avenue? and when will the NSW govt do SOMETHING for our industry (while there still is one)?
