Before you start complaining about Irelands immigration policies(sic), I suggest you look at your own. Australia has deported over 30 Irish citizens since Christmas for overstaying their visas by a couple of days. Also, its next to impossible to get into OZ if you are over 35 and arent highly skilled. Ive no problem with that, but think before you post. The words pot, kettle and black, come to mind.non national wrote:Nanette, you don't want to get me started about the issues you are talking about. I am from Australia - the country that any Irish person under 40 is currently moving to and for some strange reason, I am trying to stay here in Ireland.
Non...they don't want to fix anything...the system is working exactly how the government want it to work. They want to delay giving anyone permanent immigration status and kick out as many people as they can that way.non national wrote:Thanks Tom - but this hasn't anything to do with where I'm from. John Howard's immigration agenda, as well as most of his other economic rationalist, neo liberal policies from the past decade were the original reason I left the place. You're right, Australia has questionable policies on a lot of things - immigration is certainly one of them.
That's why I'm happy to become a dual citizen and continue to live in this country. But when the DoJ make a big deal about how they've cut down the waiting time for swearing the oath from 3 months to 1 month, only to find that has meant the waiting time for the naturalisation cert has therefore gone from 1 month to 3 months, you tend to wonder what's going on. Without any doubt, the naturalisation process is broken but there doesn't seem to be any will to fix it.
PS The best way to get into Oz is to follow the yellow brick road.
