Skilled Migration Program pushed by Senator Nick Xenophon

Mr Nick Xenophon, the independent senator in Australia has forwarded his push for a new skilled migration program so that economically challenged areas in South Australia, his home state, can be boosted for everybody’s benefit. He believes that this move can lift the state out of its economic gloom.


”We need a targeted, sensible, business investment migration program for low population states and regions that would turbocharge the economies of those areas,” Senator Xenophon said on an interview with the AAP.


The senator met with businesses leaders and members of the state government and the opposition so that he can outline his plans for the introduction of legislation to federal parliament so that the migration program can be revised and be able to attract skilled foreign workers so that labour shortage can be met growth can finally be encouraged.


”We need to do this,” the Senator urged. ”We need to do it really urgently.”


”If we can boost business migrants in the thousands, if we can have billions of dollars coming into the state … I reckon that would be unambiguously good for South Australia,” he further went on to say, proving his point.


According to Senator Xenophon, Senator Jackie Lambie, the independent senator from Tasmania, is going to co-sponsor the bill.


”It is about Tasmania as well,” Senator Xenophon said. ”Tasmania and South Australia are lagging behind all other states with population growth.”
