Australians only, please.....

[swissie]

Strictly adressed to Australians. My brother living in Australia for nearly 40 years. Therefore, 10 years ago, I applied for an "Immigration-Visa" to Australia. Next to unsurpassable requirements, I found out, that "family in Australia" gives only 10% of points required to qualify for an Australian-Immi-Visa.

QUESTION: How come, that Australia has been flooded with immigrants from "all kinds of countries". How did they qualify? As an "established person" with my roots in Europe, I could not qualify. In spite of my favorable educational history and my bank-account.

How do pennyless immigrants from "all kinds of countries" qualify and I can not?

They may have moved to Australia a long time ago, when it was easier to get visas ?

Those migrants have skills that Australia require, or studied in Australia in a field that Australia requires workers, so get a visa or PR after they finish uni.
