This is off topic, so I'll reply only this time. I'm not supposed to sum and chew the information for you. And you are supposed to have basic reading and maths skills to understand this very un-complex problem.
I said that NSW has more 457 visa than VIC/SA/TA/NT/ACT combined. If you use basic mathematics (Which I assumed you knew) you’ll see the following
HERE
Visa issued: NSW – 12,730, ACT – 720, NT – 550, TAS – 180, VIC – 7,870. 12,730>720+550+180+7,870
And the WA "mining engine" 9 280. All of the above proves me correct.
This still proves my point that NSW has more 457 than any other state and the states I mentioned combined VIC/SA/TA/NT/ACT or WA/SA/TA/NT/ACT for that matter . Also, just in case you are not aware, VIC is one state and WA is a state too.
Yes, check the statistics. Unlike some people I base my conversation on facts, rather than labelling states/governments as revenue grabbing monsters. NSW, is doing an excellent job in providing its people with what they need, while having extremily limited budget, compared to huge population it needs to support. If you would have read the first link provided properly I would have provided you with info for this one as well. Wouldn’t bother. Just Google, Australian Federal Statistics.
