‘Australian Style Points Based Immigration’ Explained – TLDR News
Pin Badge Store: https://www.tldrnews.co.uk/store
The Conservatives keep talking about Australian Style Points Based Immigration Systems. It’s become a somewhat unwieldy catchphrase for the party and a core to how they see the UK operating post-Brexit. In this video, we explain what it means, how Australia works and what it could mean for the UK

An "Australian style points based system" seem like a cover for what Boris Johnson actually wants to do, which is most likely emulating the incredibly strict policies Australia has when it comes to illegal immigration and people smuggling.

If the Australian immigration system achieves what it's intended to achieve, why does the country see so many individuals demanding that immigration be reduced?
@DanielAyepahMensah
January 7, 2024 at 9:09 pm
If they use a point base system. Then they can genuinely deny visas. Increase the pass mark and requirements can basically deny lots of visas. So I think they really know what they are talking about.

This video is so wrong. You are comparing Australian's permanent residency system vs UK's work visa system. Australia also has separate employer-led work visas! The main difference is actually that people in the UK can automatically get permanent residency if they work or study long enough. On the other hand, people in Australia need to get enough points to be a permanent resident, even if you have worked for ten years in Australia.

What about spouse visas. Anyone know if the UK plans on changing its current policies on this?
@DecisiveThreat204
January 7, 2024 at 9:09 pm
One thing you didn't mention about the UK points based system is that they also have massive financial requirements for most Visa's beyond tier 5. You also didn't mention family visa (partners and parents visas) which are to a point financial blackmail for the parent not from that country if they are not financially stable. I come from Canada a commonwealth nation which you mentioned is the 1st points based system and one of the easiest in the world to get into and like you said we have alot of mediocre applicants. The UK's points based system is hard to pass unless you're a skilled worker with a job to fill or your a business owner with some 250k capital. The UK system is ludicrous and I've been caught up and away from my child for over 2 years and have waited 1 year of that just for a trial for my evidence to be looked at by a 3rd party judge because home office actually choose not to look at my evidence. The UK needs reform because it only lets in those that are going to make them money or work on their infrastructure. They don't care about parents or children separated from each other. We are the most rejected visas.
@dentray
January 7, 2024 at 9:09 pm
I think what some are missing is it will stop non skilled EU members and refugees who become EU citizens in the future freely entering the UK with there families for as long as they want?. Most of what's talked about here is temporary Visas but the AU points system really addresses the more permeant migrants which are classed as "permanent residents" and until they have proven they can become Australian Citizens (if they want to become Australian Citizens) basically on a whole you need 5 years service and contribution to Australia to become a Citizen, know and understand the Australian constitution "in English" and pledge an oath of allegiance "in English" (the reason Australia allocates so much money to the English language education). A migrant wanting to become a Citizen needs to spend at least 3 of any 5 year period (pro rata) in Australia with a collective 5 years and a permanent resident cannot leave Australia without a return entry visa which only lasts for 5 years. If a permeant resident stays out of Australia for longer than 5 years or does not renew their resident return visa "in Australia" they loose their permeant resident status and need to re emigrate or use visitor visas same as anyone else. To renew a resident return visa a resident needs to have spent at least 2 years of any 5 within Australia as apposed to 3 in any 5 for citizenship.
There are and always will be loopholes and money speaks but Migrants can no longer get benefits such as old age pension unless they have contributed to the Australian economy, this is to stop family reunion visas putting a strain on the economy and health benefit system. If you want to bring your elderly parents into Australia on a family reunion status because they cant pass the points system you have to have and prove financial means to support them.
I am an Australian migrant and an Australian citizen and I can honestly say that more than 50 percent of Born Australians would struggle to pass the Australian points system, this would defiantly be true of UK and EU citizens trying to pass BJ,s Australian style points system. lol
People complaining about immigration should go forth and emigrate to another country and you may even improve your lifestyle!

I'm here on a tier 5 youth mobility visa. Didn't have to have proof of job before I came here 🤷♀️ I said no job. But I signed up with a locum agency for an allied health job (shortage in UK). I can also get an ancestory visa after this 2 year youth visa. So you dont need a job prior to coming on ansestory visa and youth mobility

I suggest making an extension of this video explaining the different in statuses you get in Canada, Australia, UK and in EU (PR vs visa).
That is a huge difference.
Once you land in Canada after passing their immigration system – you're a permanent resident, you can work wherever you like without any work permits.
In UK, Australia it doesn't work like that.
