Australia - temporary suspension of skilled migration

The Australian government have just announced a temporary suspension of their immigration programme for skilled migrants.

This means that no new applications are being accepted until the new points
system and the new occupations list have been released. The target date for the
new system is July 1st and we hope before then to have full details on how the new
system will work.

We are unsure exactly what occupations will be on the new list other than we feel that most "in demand" trade and professional occupations will still be needed.

Once we have further information on anything we'll provide full details.
