Lol yes, the Treasurer is my namesake. I have the full video on my phone.

It's basically taking huge loans to fund the budget and Economy/Job recovery just like our Buhari and Nigeria Economy.

Honestly, this white folks are not doing anything special, it's just that they value life and property, and there is accountability and the right data in place to ensure each input yield a satisfactory output.

Meanwhile, Joan you are a strong lady

Scot Morrison update should not deter anyone who has a means to come to Australia.
The average Australian is lazy and prefers to get relief packages from the government. Health care is free for them and they even get rental supports, therefore some would rather not work. During these Covid times, many people are getting jobs. It's all there in job sites, and u will definitely get something to do. And studies is arranged in such a way that it won't clash with ur work. Cos no one except u not to work while studying. So ignore those comments about job losses and look at the positive side. It's not gonna be easy, but at the end, it would be worth it.

That's 100% true. .. I agree with you.

Essentially, when coming,plan ahead.

Even so, qyou get a job 3 weeks after you come, you need to generate an average of 11,000 for your 2nd semester tuition and for you to be able to work effectively, you would need a car.
Since its your first job, they require you to work on most jobs mornings which clashes with your class schedules. So it put more pressure on you and your academics in the first 2 or so months.

I am saying all this for some of you to have that mental picture and be able to plan ahead knowing this before hand and to be able to creatively find a solution if there's one. Not necessarily to discourage ...general awareness.
Many like me have passed through this hurdles before and doing much better now.

Ikjosh04:
Nice feedback!!

No one is saying the process is gonna be Easy but it's definitely gonna be worth it at the end.

Information is key and like I always say "One of the central ideas of learning (academic culture) is that Knowledge develops through debate and arguments"

Ciao!

#My Perspective I am open to correction and more enlightenment

Well, it's an open fact that Coronavirus impacted all. Countries economy negatively and that's including Australia but it's also worthy of note that all state in Australia are doing pretty good(Perth even had a budget surplus from their 2020 allocated budget. I.e., more than enough money) with the exception of Melbourne which is just easing the recent lockdown and I actually read few hours ago or so that many folks in Melbourne flocked to the beach few days back without nose mask and following the covid 19 safety protocols or so.

Be that as it may, on the police remembrance day which happened last week, Scott Morrison said 750,000 jobs have been recovered and all states with the exception of Melbourne are doing great wrt bringing the lost jobs back.

Though, i am actually calm and looking to see what the 2021 budget that will be made public on the 6th October or so looks like to know and understand the next steps of Australia economy recovery.

the above points is just to show anyone reading that I'm doing my best to get informed about the economy situation.

Now, the bone of contention is about this tution fee stuff.

Taking myself for example, my tution fee for the 2yr program is over A$70,000 and its only the elite which is less than 10% of Nigerians can comfortably say they can afford to have the full tuition fees before going to Australia to study and huge part of those elite prefers to send their ward to the USA, Canada and the UK than Australia for the best reason known to them(i stand to be corrected, I'm just giving out a theory).

I don't find it comfortable when some people come in here to discourage us(myself included) from going to study in Australia because we don't have the full 2 year tution fee and I hope i have been able to clarify the question that's always popping up about having full tution fee before thinking of studying in Australia.

dearpiriye:
thank you very much. No I didn’t mean pr. I meant the working hours for international students. Does the placement hours have any impact on the 40 hours fortnightly given to intl students? No problem about the contact. Thanks for the institution

dearpiriye:
Thank you so much.... we intend to give her enough money for everything for the first year just that there will be no support from home for the rest. For the placements does immigration count them as fulfilling the 20hours/ week for work? Please what institution did your friend attend? Is it possible to get your friend’s contact? I hope you won’t mind if I send you a mail. Thanks a lot

dearpiriye:
hello please I have some questions for you, the house and any one that has finished nursing or is on in Australia. My sister has a bsc in biochemistry and I’m looking for institutions that allow graduate entry for two years. ACU is the cheapest I’ve seen so far.
Did you go through the graduate entry program or normal bsc?
do you think nurses will need the extra points offered by schooling at regional areas? I know it’s on the sol but she will need to raise her second year fees and upkeep with no support from home so I’m bothered about ease of getting good jobs.
Did you have to raise funds your self and how did you cope with that and the hours your supposed to complete for simulations and clinical practice.
Can you help with an estimate of how much additional fees you had to pay per semester for other things aside tuition?
My sister will be going after nysc so can anyone help with ideas on how to show strong ties to the country. She’s not married and probably won’t be working by then.
Thanks a lot.

Hello, good day, I am a Frontend engineer that wanna move to Australia after this covid-19 palaver, I found this in the skill migrant section which implies that I am eligible.

How much would it cost me to move out without a job sponsorship from Australia?

Hi, i'm not an expertise in this unfortunately. Try to ask this in the immigrant thread, you'll get what you want.

Thanks.

Cousin9999:
I think some of you need to read this. Just be careful (Aussies are pretty racist):

There's one big problem with Australia's skilled migration program: many employers don't want new migrants

https://theconversation.com/amp/theres-one-big-problem-with-australias-skilled-migration-program-many-employers-dont-want-new-migrants-125569

It makes me wonder/worry how many people are wasting their time, like people who study in Asia and absolutely cannot get hired.

mamatwiny:
Nice one!

Someone without options may not properly check.
Hows the job market for intl students like during this coronavirus times?

Good morning All

Please I'm in a state of confusion right now.

I recently got an admission with a university in Australia (to
resume 20th July) ACU precisely.
I have Paid my school fees, got my CoE, and I have also
applied for my visa, did my Biometric and medical. Actually
waiting for my grant. But due to the pandemic, everything is
on pause mode.
Few weeks ago, the outcome of a scholarship that I applied
for came out successful. And I was awarded a
50%scholarship. (I was so happy.)
Yesterday I got a mail from the school requesting the I can
commence my studies online pending when the travel
restriction will be lifted or I can defer the admission to Feb
2021.
Now my challenges.
1. If I defer the admission, will the scholarship be withdrawn?
2. If I chose to start my course online and my visa is denied
what happens.
3. Can the school give me a new CoE reflecting the
scholarship?
Please guys I need ur advice and humble suggestions since you guys are already settled and know how things are done there.

Regards.
