Possible Australian migration policy changes

Australia's new Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, is considering making changes to the nation's migration program to help offset skills shortages currently affecting the economy. A 'Skills Australia' program would create a roadmap of the skills Australia will need in the coming years. The effort would emphasize greater investment in skills and training, and "calibrating the migration program, as appropriate," both for the current economy and the "next economy."
