: Australian jobs protected by freeze on foreign workers

: LOCAL building and manufacturing jobs will be firewalled, with the Rudd
: Government set to close the gate on about 18,500 foreign workers this year.
這一段是說減少本地建築與製造業的工作給外國工作者，約減少18500的名額。
: Immigration Minister Chris Evans will reveal the Government is to cut its
: permanent skilled migration program this financial year by 14 per cent to
: protect Australian jobs.
技術移民的民額大約會減少14個百分比在今年會計結算時，
大約六月還是七月，以保護澳洲公民的工作機會。
: "Clearly the economic circumstances in Australia have changed as a result of
: the global financial crisis so it is prudent to reduce this year's migration
: intake accordingly," Senator Evans said.
因為目前澳洲的經濟情況，所以不得不謹慎的減少今年的移民量。
: The changes mean building and manufacturing trades will be removed from
: Australia's critical skills list, protecting local bricklayers, plumbers,
: welders, carpenters and metal fitters.
這意味著建築與製造相關的職業將會被移除於CSL，以保障本地水電工一類的工作。
（說到這邊的水電工，我覺得一般來說應該是plumber，修馬桶需要他，
修熱水器需要他，家裡忽然斷了電也需要他。有次不知怎麼了跳電，
他來扳一扳開關，就要收錢，記憶中好像是90差不多，真好賺。）
: But employers will still be able to access skilled workers such as doctors
: and nurses in industries and sectors where acute skills shortages exist.
: The critical skills list will now comprise mainly health and medical,
: engineering and IT workers.
醫生與護理人員仍然在技術職缺中。
所以CSL將會以健康、醫療、工程、還有ＩＴ為主。
（澳洲也算是個高齡化社會，所以健康醫療一定要。
可是ＩＴ有這麼缺嗎？身邊有幾個還找不到一份好的ＩＴ工作。）
: Cabinet agreed last week to slash the permanent skilled migration program
: intake because of the worsening global economic situation.
: The Government will reduce the planned record intake of 133,500 workers in
: 2008-09 to 115,000.
名額從133500下降到115000
: The move is expected to be welcomed by unions, which have been agitating for
: months for a reduction in imported labour because of the international
: downturn.
預期工會將歡迎這項政策，經過了幾個月的激烈辯論。
（之前的霍華德政府打壓工會，賺取資方的選票，有鬧到上街遊行。
現在的陸克文政府討好工會，逼著資方去買單，來雇用本地公民。
回頭看看我們來的地方，唉，還不學著點。）
: Queensland's mining sector has been gutted by the world recession, and across
: the state, job vacancies for skilled workers have plunged.
: The latest Treasury figures forecast Australia's unemployment rate will peak
: at 7 per cent mid next year. In February, the jobless rate spiked to the
: highest monthly level since the 1991 recession at 5.2 per cent.
估計明年中會伸到７％，請問澳洲經濟好嗎？
: The reduction in this financial year's intake follows measures announced in
: December that resulted in only those migrants sponsored by an employer or in
: an occupation on the critical skills list being granted visas under the
: permanent skilled migration program.
: Almost half of the permanent visas granted are to applicants already living
: and working in Australia.
: Senator Evans said the Government intended to constantly review the critical
: skills list and remove occupations if demand for the skills could be met by
: Australian workers.
這意味著，移民法還會有不小的變動。
（要移民的朋友，自己好好評估風險吧。）
: The 2009-10 migration program will be set in the May Budget and reflect the
: economic climate.
09到10年的移民程序會在今年五月出爐，將反應目前的經濟情況。

最後：想出國工作又有特殊的專業技能的朋友，好比建築師之類的，
如果不介意到中東回教徒跟禁忌很多的地方的話，
可以好好考慮杜拜之類的阿拉伯國家。
一個馬來西亞朋友的哥哥是建築師，去年簽了兩年的約，
在杜拜那邊工作，包吃、包喝、包住、領美金、不繳稅，
有興趣的朋友考慮一下吧。
他哥留長髮，我看到背影都以為是女的＝ ＝，
聽說他在那邊害一個已婚的阿拉伯婦女慘遭毒打，
說毒打可能有點誇張，但他們不許婦女尤其是已婚跟其他男人說話。
所以，要去的男性朋友，請讓自己看起來man一點。XDDD

もし、別の人生を送っていたら、
きっと私とは別の人間がここにいるのだろうしね。
人は人生を選ぶことはできないんだから。
☆いま、会いにゆきます☆より
そして今日も、私は自分の人生を生きている。
大切な人と一緒に。
