Australia admits.. we just ain't got the homegrown skilled labour force, so we want more Brits..

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/australasia/australia-relaxes-its-immigration-rules-to-persuade-skilled-young-britons-to-emigrate-461911.html

A bit like in the 1950's-60's when Brits were being offered to able to migrate to Aussie land for just £10.. 1 million Brits emigrated under that scheme.

(V): Please read what you post before you post it....again your google has let you down....that article is dated August 2007...stop living in the past.

And 1 million brits did emigrate to Aus because they were sick and tired of being in a country that was so poor, there was no work, and the country was still in a mess from the 2nd world war....they came to a land of milk and honey, as did a lot of germans. They had the choice of australia or canada....I dont know how many went to Canada

Bernice: Yes... Rationing was still in place, we were still rebuilding. As was Germany and many European countries. We were not poor, just we had come through years of being bombed. There was work, just some were pulled by the thought of having Xmas in the sun

As to the article being 2007... wow! big deal.
