Rudd to overhaul Australian migration

Australia’s migrant program is set to undergo a major overhaul as part of the Rudd government's bid to lure more workers into the country.

Immigration minister Chris Evans has deemed the current migration model as out of date and will table a series of migrant submissions for reform.

It’s hoped the changes will see a boost to migration numbers, promote more skilled and unskilled workers to come to Australia and fill gaps in the skills shortage.
