What is the Australian Points System Of Immigration?

Anyone wanting to move to Australia gets judged on a certain number of criteria.

Alexander Downer, the Australian High Commissioner to the UK and a former Australian Foreign Minister, explains: "We take about 70% of our migrants as skilled migrants. They accumulate points based on their age, occupation - if it's in areas we have shortages, as well as their health, character and security.

"They also have to speak the English language, otherwise they won't be able to integrate into our society properly.

"If you get enough points, you're able to come into Australia."

How many of the migrants we take would get into the 70% of Australia's? This is the key difference. And why simply comparing a number and saying x amount of migrants = x amount of growth to the economy isnt really the true story if comparing UK to Australia
