A. You cannot work at a job in Australia without a work visa and to get a permanent work visa, you must have formal qualifications and experience in an occupation listed on the Skilled Occupations List (SOL); you must pass the points test ; you must have your skills and qualifications assessed by the body responsible for skills assessment for that occupation and you must meet English language, health and character requirements. If your occupation is only on the SOL and not on the Critical Skills List (CSL), you will have to wait until at least the end of 2012 (and probably longer) before your application is even looked at. (the SOL) (required qualifications and skills assessment) (visa processing priorities and link to the CSL)

How is Australia different from the United States?
Q. I am thinking about being a foreign exchange student in Australia. I was just wondering, what do you think is the hardest part being a foreign exchange student? What are the biggest differences between the United States and Australia? Can I still watch the same TV shows there? Are there certain foods over there(like different kinds of snack foods or candy) that I can't get over here and vice verse?

What role did Australia play in the British criminal justice system during Charles Dickens' lifetime?
Q. I need to know Australia's influence on the Criminal Justice System from 1812-1870. I know that Australia's population was greatly influenced by British immigrants, and I know that Dickens' family had some financial problems, as John Dickens was arrested for debt during Charles' childhood. I need a good answer by 25 August please. oh. thanks.
Asked by Finn A - Sun Aug 17 18:05:07 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Australia's role on the British criminal justice system was mainly to alleviate the overcrowding in English prisons due to the enactment of some rather harsh, all encompassing, laws. The first fleet of convict ships arrived at Botany Bay (Sydney) on 20 January 1788. The last convicts to be transported to Australia arrived in 1868 in Western Australia. Much of this happened during Charles Dickens's lifetime, however it had nothing directly to do with his father's imprisonment. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries about 60, 000 convicts were sent to the British colonies in North America (the US and Australia have a lot in common). When the American Revolutionary War brought an end to this the British Government was forced to look… [cont.]

Are there regions in Australia without any dangerous animals?
Q. I would like to try living in Australia some time, but my wife is so worried about poisonous spiders and snakes all the time, and that one of them might get one of our cats. But aren't there areas where our kitties could go roaming and stay "unbitten"? How's Tasmania for that? Or Adelaide? Or... I haven't a clue. Do you have any knowledge of a creepie-crawlie free region in Australia?
Asked by Chaco-Yekke Downyonder - Thu May 3 04:54:14 2007 - - 3 Answers - 3 Comments

A. I have lived in the rural areas of Western Australia all my life and have yet to see a snake. Cats are immune to funnel web spider venom and they are the main problem in the Sydney area, you would have more problem with those little monsters than your cats. Redback spiders pretty much stay away from sight so they are not a big issue with pets either, more with people. There are no funnel web spiders in WA thanks god, they are huge! We lived on a farm and our cats roamed around and never had any problems with snakes. Western Australia also dosen't have those awlful paralizing ticks. Basically wherever you go there is some chance you will at some time see a creepy crawlie but I wouldn't let that worry you.

How do earthquakes happen in Australia without being near Tectonic Plates?
Q. Well, there's been news of an Earthquake in Australia. It was in Western Australia; while I am over in South Australia. I've only heard of an Earthquake in Australia once but I looked into it, and it seems much more common than I thought. How do earthquakes happen in Australia when none of the Tectonic plates do not even cross or come too close to Australia?
Asked by Articulated Zombie - Wed Apr 21 07:02:52 2010 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There may not be any tectonic plates near by, but there could be some fault lines around. We have fault lines all across the USA. People don't think earthquakes can happen here in the state of Arizona, or in New York City. "What? Earthquakes? That's California." Most people don't realize there are fault lines in the area.They may not generate quakes as strong as, or as often at southern California. none the less they can still cause a quake.

What American first arrived in Australia after Australia was settled in 1788?
Q. Did this person intend to live in Australia? Did they perhaps jump ship? I expect this person arrived prior to 1800. In 1802 Americans were on Kangaroo Island whaling and building a boat that took them to Sydney. These are the first Americans I know of. The three officers with Cook in 1770 were not Americans as they were before the declaration of independence, 1776.

Then, for reasons no sane person can understand, they do a belly-whacker in the mud.

what are some universities in Australia that gives out scholarships to Canada?

I also provide a lot for my community which I know is a key thing. My major is art, and I want to become an art teacher.

Asked by Love - Wed Sep 9 21:57:51 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You will need to look in Canada for a scholarship that is valid overseas as Australian universities dont give out scholarships as a rule - only the best students once they have been at uni for a couple of semesters are eligible for small bursaries (1-2K) if they get HD for all subjects. Scholarships are not a common occurrence in Australia as students are eligible for Austudy if they are from low income, work if they are from middle income and all uni fees are deferred until they start working (and most students live at home during their undergrad so they have no expenses).

Why do the seasons in Australia start on the 1st day of the month as opposed to the 21st, everywhere else?
Q. I've always wondered why in Australia the seasons start on the 1st of every third month as opposed to most other countries I know of that start on the 21st of every third month. Eg. Summer in Australia starts on the 1st of December. However winter in the Northern hemisphere doesn't begin until the 21st of December. Shouldn't summer begin on the 21st of December as well? Are there any other countries that do this as well? And if so why? Which is the correct date?
Asked by laxydaisical - Mon Mar 9 07:42:36 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Australia apparently uses meteorological seasons rather than astronomical seasons. The December-February period is the coldest (or warmest) three calendar months of the year, and so from a weather standpoint that's the winter (summer) season. The traditional seasons are based on the Sun's apparent motion in the sky; the dates are somewhat variable year to year and slowly changing due to precession of the equinoxes. One system is no more "right" than the other; they're just based on different sets of observations. If you're interested in weather patterns, the meteorological definition is more appropriate; for astronomical work, the traditional definition is better.

A. We have protected classes (race, age, sex, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, religion) here in the US, so if you fire someone or do not hire them based on their membership in these classes then you are subject to major fines and other disciplinary actions from the government. Also, you can fire who you like but if the employee can prove it was for an illegal reason (such as they are a member of a protected class or they would not perform sexual favors for a boss) the fired employee can sue for big time cash.
