It is a sobering article GtC (and thanks Paul) ... when this is all over, I reckon we'll be flooded with immigrant applications.  I keep in contact with an English lady and she's "confined to quarters" as a Type 1 diabetic and in a very manner of fact manner, wants to sell up and come here.  She's smart enough to know our wide open spaces afford her a level of protection she can't get at home.

If they move to the right areas and are completely self supporting, it might work out well.

It hasn't in the past

She's almost zero chance of getting in, even before COVID-19.

I know several high profile self-made millionaires from the UK who all wanted to semi-retire to Oz. As part of the deal they had to make offers to invest large sums of money to start companies and employ locals, one offered to start a high tech laser business, another an aviation/aerospace company, one is even a top of the line science researcher specialising in bespoke imaging devices for medical and industrial purposes, he wanted to set up device manufacturing in Tasmania because he loves fly fishing. Projects costing and eventually worth millions of dollars and dozens or hundreds of jobs.

All were rejected as too old, they are in their 60s and 70s, rejected on the basis that they would be a burden on the health system.

What really pisses them off is that elderly Asians are arriving in droves while investing relatively nothing in comparison, the Poms think it's a corrupt system.

Two of the three have settled in NZ basically doing there exactly what they offered to do here! It's bullcrap, if you're a Chinese mobster and a friend of Packer or Murdoch you're in like Flynn and you'll build a Chinese restaurant and a high rise death trap with dodgy cladding!

LP.  There is a reciprocal arrangement between the UK and Australia insofar as that applies to our medicare and their NHS.  That's been going for many years.  She can easily fund her retirement and wouldn't take the pension.  In short, no economic cost.  Compare that to "citizens" from a few other countries that bludge on us. :'(

Indeed.  I loved Kew and developers ruined it inside 10 years.  I was happy to get out

Couldn't agree more, GTC.  Appearance and quality, today, can go an get stuffed it seems. There was an ugly development in Cranbourne only a few years ago and the cladding started falling off after 12 fckn months!!!!

The quality of builds today is alarmingly crap. I've watched a few new developments here on the Island and holy mackerel... cheap materials and so many short cuts. And kids Karchering rooves without scaffolding protection...!!! When I left the Navy in '76 I worked on building sites with my father and my brother-in-law who was a builder... every stage of the build had a council inspector go over it with a fine tooth comb. Not today. Standards are rooted.

Neo liberal, cut-red-tape, "small government" crap, which has been generally adopted by Labor as well, in a slightly modified, "lite" version.

When the prime goal of organisations is to maximise profits above all else then the scene is set for the delivery of cr@p to customers at inflated prices.
Reality always wins in the end.

Bass Shire has seen the population treble as holiday home owners etc have moved there to escape the crowded city., sucks for locals as its put pressure on the local infrastructure. Reckon post CV we will see a rise in folk moving to the country, more getting jobs where they can work at home and inner city living becoming less popular.
Will Australians ever stop selling out to overseas entities?

All the people I know who have been rejected would be self-funded and investing in businesses, one has won several of the Queen's awards for export and services to the country. Australia still knocked him back as a health liability. This is just in the last couple of years.
