A general election has been called for Australia on August 21st.
Julia Gillard, the first female Prime Minister of Australia announced the move on Saturday. Gillard has only been PM a matter of weeks after an unexpected leadership battle.
Immigration of course is a key policy issue in the election. We look forward to seeing what detailed policies the ruling Labor Party and the opposition Liberal Party are proposing.
However, it is the plight of asylum seekers arriving by boat in Australia's northern waters that is the main focus of immigration concern, rather than general skilled migration. Both parties are keen to ensure that skilled migrants are encouraged to move to areas of Australia where they are needed – i.e. through individual State Migration Plans.
