can't be the only aussie that fucking despises seeing my country's native animals (especially birds) being kept as pets right? like i feel that most people in my general area hate that shit but idk about city fellas. like especially if the pet (sugar glider, parrot, emu, etc.) is like, in a place like america where their laws there for owning animals are shit as. like. maybe YOU can own a fucking emu in america easy peasy lemon squeezy but in australia you 1. have to have a very good fucking reason for it and 2. a fucking permit to own the animal. and most of those reasons and permits come down to emu farms that farm the meat, feathers, eggs etc. like in australia you can't own native animals without permits and with some native animals you're only allowed to have temporary guardianship over them because you're a wildlife rehabber, and afterwards they MUST be released into the wild. like here in australia we take care of our wildlife and take that shit very seriously which is why exporting native animals and importing invasive animals is severely restricted, with exceptions for like, zoos and research and shit. we're so anal about everything regarding the health and wellbeing of our native animals that we don't even HAVE rabies in australia, which is honestly a huge fucking accomplishment. like THAT is how seriously we take the health and wellbeing of our native animals.

so if anyone HAS a native australian animal as a pet outside of australia i generally side eye the fuck out of them because. how'd you get it cunt? from where, and from whom, and how long ago, and at some point was an animal smuggled out of australia for a person's enjoyment, whether it was the parents, grandparents etc.? do you know the answers to any of those questions at all? do you understand that the animal you have as a pet is more than likely endangered here in australia, especially after the 2020 fires which caused so many animals to die, go extinct, and become endangered pretty much within the span of just a few months? like idk about ppl in other countries and their opinion or whatever but as an aussie that shit boils my blood like nothing else and i know i'm not the only aussie who feels that way, and wish more people realised how fucked the whole situation actually was and would stop caving to sensitive american's feelings about the subject. like yeah. i think if you own a native australian animal in america or any other country, that somewhere down the line something wrong happened. because at least here in australia, there are permits and licences and generally good reasons for said animals being in captivity, and some animals are just straight up prohibited from ever being owned in any way, such as kangaroos and sugar gliders (unless they're in a zoo). but in other countries it's the fuccking wild west and you can do whatever you want. and idk how to tell you this but. that's not a good thing at all.

Just wanting to add: as a New Zealander who works in disease management for Bovine TB, possums are one of our biggest carriers of TB and cause many reinfections in previously clear areas which ends up with cows getting really sick and dying.

My workplace puts a lot of effort in working with the Māori Iwi and department of conservation to do possum control because the numbers continue to grow.

We get a lot of shit from Australians and other countries because all us kiwis have no qualms about setting our own possum traps to control the numbers, but if we don’t control the numbers then we risk losing so many more native species of birds as well as losing a large chunk of NZs income from our meat exports.

Not all animal deaths are bad. Sometimes it helps protect native, endangered species.

A frustrating part of the mainstream vegan “love all animals and protect the environment” mindset is the fact that things need to die in real-life ecology all the time but deer hunting season makes icky feelings and carp culls aren’t cottagecore

Brazil lifts Australian sheepmeat ban

WHEN one door closes another one opens in what seems to be the case for Australian sheepmeat producers.

Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Murray Watt announced on 2 July that sheepmeat exports to Brazil had been restored following a suspension of trade in 2020.

Brazil has restored market access for Australian sheepmeat, sheep meat products and edible offal. Trade had previously been suspended because of changes in Brazilian requirements.

The announcement follows just a day after legislation passed through the Senate to ban live sheep exports by sea from 1 May 2028.

A Spiritual Sanctuary: All Saints Anglican Church Bodalla #tourismaustralia

Situated atop a hill on the outskirts of the charming town of Bodalla in rural New South Wales, stands a historic church that is considered one of the most splendidly apportioned in the area. From the tower of this church, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the coastal hinterland. This church holds a fascinating history, deeply intertwined with the Mort family.

T.S. Mort, born in Bolton, Lancashire, England in 1816, made his way to Australia in 1837. A true pioneer in Australian dairying, Mort established the Bodalla Estate, ventured into engineering and shipbuilding in Balmain, and played a significant role in the wool industry and other enterprises. In his final years, he dedicated himself to developing a process for freezing and exporting Australian meat to meet the demands of England. Tragically, he passed away on May 9, 1878, due to an illness he contracted while caring for one of his workers. He was laid to rest in the cemetery of the beloved Bodalla Estate.

The church was designed by the renowned architect Edmund T. Blackett, known for his work on the cathedrals of St. Andrews in Sydney and St. Saviours in Goulburn. The construction was overseen by builder Joseph Zeigler of Moruya, with the granite used in the building sourced from the Estate itself. The intricate hand-wrought iron hinges and straps on the entrance door, as well as the stone font inside, were all designed by E.T. Blackett. A parclose screen separates the extension from the original part of the Nave, ensuring a cozy setting for smaller congregations.

The foundation stone of this magnificent church was laid on March 18, 1880, by Thomas Mort's widow, Marianne, his second wife. The church stands as a testament to the rich history and legacy of the Mort family in the Bodalla community.

 The woodwork throughout the church is crafted from oak, giving it a timeless and elegant appearance. Imported from England, the stained-glass windows, Chancel tiles, unique marble mosaic reredos, and pipe organ add to the grandeur of the space.

Adorning the Chancel arch are the final words of Thomas Mort: "THINE EYES SHALL SEE THE KING IN HIS BEAUTY." Beyond this arch, the stunning stained-glass windows depicting the Transfiguration illuminate the Sanctuary. These windows were generously gifted by the people of Bodalla in honour of T.S. Mort and his wife, Theresa Shepheard.

The exquisite hand-embroidered furnishings within the church were meticulously crafted by Mort's daughters. The festal altar frontal was created from Theresa Mort's wedding dress, with her wedding ring even incorporated into the stem of the silver gilt chalice. The oak light standards in the Chancel were fashioned from trees grown on Ernest Mort's property in Surrey, serving as a touching memorial to their youngest son, the Reverend Ernest Mort.

The construction of the church cost £13,000, a significant investment that reflects the dedication and commitment of the Mort family. Numerous tablets line the walls, commemorating both the Mort family members and past worshippers who have contributed to the rich history of the church.

AUSTRALIA – UK – FREE TRADE AGREEMENT – TACKLE RISING LIVING COSTS

Much Awaited Australia – United Kingdom Free Trade Agreement (FTA) enters into force from 31st May 2023

The agreement is a gold standard trade deal that delivers benefits for all Australians – including manufacturers, workers, farmers, trades, innovators, families, and students.

The United Kingdom is one of Australia’s major trading partners, with two-way goods trade worth $10 billion in 2022, and two-way services trade worth over $11 billion in 2021-22, making it our second largest services trading partner.

As of today, over 99 per cent of Australian products will enter the UK duty free. These include some of our key exports, such as wine, short and medium grain rice, sugar, honey, nuts, olive oil and food supplements.

UK tariffs on Australian industrial goods, such as auto parts, electrical equipment and fashion items are now eliminated. Australian agricultural products, including beef and sheep meat, sugar and dairy products, will have duty free transitional quotas, with eventual elimination of all tariffs.

For Australian consumers, tariffs on 98 per cent of UK imports to Australia are now eliminated, with the remainder removed within six years.

The agreement strengthens our people-to-people links with the UK. Australian professionals now have the same access to the UK job market as nationals from the European Union, except the Republic of Ireland.

The agreement also includes measures designed to improve the mobility of skilled workers and young people, in both directions. From 31 January 2024, Australians up to the age of 35, up from 30, will be able to apply for working holidays in the UK and stay for a maximum of three years instead of two.

Trade is more than just the exchange of products and services, it also boosts the exchange of ideas. Which is why our new trade agreement lays the foundation for Australian artists, including First Nations artists, receive royalties when their original works of art are resold in the UK.

The UK is Australia’s second largest source of investment, amounting to over $1 trillion in 2022. Modern investment provisions will help promote further growth in two-way investment.

Importantly, an investor-state dispute settlement mechanism is not part of the agreement. This means Australia’s sovereign right to develop and implement legitimate policy measures in areas such as public health and the environment is preserved.

The Albanese Labor Government prioritized legislation in the Parliament to bring this trade deal into force in record time, delivering on our commitment to help businesses diversify their trade and help bring down the cost of living for Australians.

Australian business looking to enter or expand into the UK market can seek assistance from Austrade. Business can also check how the tariff cuts under the agreement apply to their specific goods through DFAT’s FTA Portal and read DFAT’s Guide to Using the A-UKFTA to export and import goods.

Australian Retail Update: Metcash – How do the latest figures influence the growth opportunity for UK Food and drink exporters?

Metcash is the largest Australian grocery wholesaler in the Australian market, supporting the independent grocery sector (~18% of the retail market). Established for almost 100 years, ASX listed and operating across 3 key business divisions Food & Grocery, Liquor (Australian Liquor Marketers – ALM) and Hardware. For UK based businesses looking for strategic growth into the Australian grocery retail environment (and food service for Liquor) Metcash and their access into the independent sector differentiating on service, premium product range and access to branded innovation can be an interesting channel, whilst recognising it’s a different supply chain model than supplying into Coles Supermarkets or Woolworths. This week Metcash announced their first half results, providing a valuable insight into the health of the independent sector, customer demand and shopping habits and performance vs their strategy.

Top line Performance

Revenue increased 1.3% to $7.8bn, and EBIIT declining by 3.4% to $246.5m, with a positive contribution from Food & Grocery being impacted by performance in Hardware and increased corporate costs.

Food Business performed “very well” with earnings growth of 3.6% to $101.7m, with significant callouts including: – offer differentiation (giving consumers a reason to shop) and increased competitiveness (appeal to the value focused customer),

Liquor was strong with earnings up 3.0% to $50.8m with an increase in customers attributed to some of the growth.

Other key callouts included: 

Business resilience & strength

Range differentiation winning customer participation.

Progress in elevating its ESG credentials vs leading international benchmark.

Growth In the Eat at Home trend supporting food and Liquor growth.

High level of customers switching to value lines, which showed the highest growth.

Trading Results review

Total food Sales increased 5.7%, with convenience a key growth driver.

Wholesale price increases averaged 7.7%

Retail Sales growth 2.8%

Outlook

First 4 weeks of the second half are demonstrated sustained momentum as they enter the peak trading season.

Focus on costs and working capital forecast to strength the final year.

In our view whilst we are not yet seeing price deflation outside of fresh produce, good weather has helped the supply of fresh produce, meat prices are dropping, and this will be expected to have a beneficial effect across convenience meals or value-added lines as an example if the trend continues to improve.

Whilst Australian households and businesses have seen 13 interest rate rises since May 2022, and with the warmer weather the pressure on heating costs and energy will be less obvious, the underlying pressures remain.

What is the opportunity for UK Food & Drink businesses targeting growth in Australia?

The Private Label Market

This is experiencing significant growth, presenting food manufacturers with opportunities to expand their business. Competing on high volume lines where you can offer efficiencies through procurement, automation or volume remains a key opportunity as retailers continue to source internationally to access better commercial performance and invest in price. Additionally understanding the growth channels, trends and innovation requirements of the market enable UK manufacturers to offer access to turnkey innovation under the retailer’s Private label offer. Products developed and proven in other international markets that can be easily adapted to the Australian palate or consumer.

The Branded Opportunity This is also experiencing growth as new brands rapidly enter the market to fill the innovation gap as consumer needs change, having the flexibility of a start-up and ability to innovate with agility giving them an advantage vs the major local brands driven on cost control and operational efficiency. Recognising the innovation within the UK food and drink sector this translates to an exciting opportunity for established UK businesses that operate a portfolio of brands and are innovating to gain market share in other highly competitive markets. The high level of appreciation or trust between consumers in both countries increasing the opportunity to win. Understanding the competitive landscape is critical to unlock these opportunities through the identification of product or range gaps and marketing messages that really resonate with consumers.

Outside of this trading update we know Australian consumers are continuing to shop for value, which is also creating an opportunity for premium products resulting in higher growth for lines such as meat, coffee, health & beauty, confectionary, wine and condiments as more consumers have that special occasion at home reducing the cost associated with out of home eating. This creates an opportunity for UK food and drink businesses that bring something different and have a clear USP away from the value play and can support brand growth in a new market. Additionally, health and wellness or sustainability continues to be high growth areas so products that have enhanced nutritional benefits or functionality are resonating well with consumers and retail buyers alike (high protein, added collagen, repurposed vegetables as examples).

In an increasingly competitive market being ready or prepared is essential before approaching one of the key retailers, understand the competitive landscape, regulatory compliance, supply chain requirements, marketing strategy and how to support the new business effectively are some of the key strategic questions to have considered.

You’ve Graduated With a Degree From an Australian University. What’s Next?

Australia is one of the most sought-after study-abroad destinations for international students, and this has led to many applying for an Australian PR after completing their studies.

The country boasts world-class universities and a high-quality education system. According to the QS World University Rankings 2023, seven Australian Universities have been ranked under the top 100.

This includes The University of Melbourne, Australian National University and The University of Sydney.

Currently, there are 619,371 international students in Australia its 41 universities. Many are drawn here with the hope of staying on after graduating and it’s no surprise why.

An Australian degree can lead to many opportunities — and at the top of this list is the kind of jobs you can get here.

Why So Many International Students Want to Become Australian PRs

Australia’s unemployment rate has consistently remained lower than many other developed countries, and in some regions, it’s even lower than the national average, creating a favourable job market for international graduates.

It’s not just the quantity of jobs available here that’s attracting people from all over the world, but the quality of the jobs available too.

As Australia is known for its strong focus on research and innovation, this makes it a hub for various fields of study.

In August 2023, the country’s top three exports are:

Metalliferous ores and metal scrap (45.1 billion Australian dollars)

Crude fertilizers and crude minerals (A$37.1b)

Coal, coke and briquettes (A$20.2b)

Meat and meat preparations (A$15.5b)

Vegetables and fruit (A$14.2b)

When you’re not carving a career in the world’s #13 economy (according to GDP data in 2021), there’s plenty of natural beauty and vibrant cities to explore.

The famous Australian lifestyle is famous for a reason.

From the iconic Sydney Opera House to the breathtaking landscapes, like the Great Barrier Reef and the Australian Outback, you’ll find endless opportunities for exploration and adventure. 

Like any other job-hunting process, it’s not a walk in the park.

Challenges remain, especially related to citizenship and visa status, as detailed by Nathan Lee, the founder of Stint, an online community and platform that aims to help international students in Australia find a fulfilling career.

Do you need a visa to study in Australia?

Long story short, like most countries, you need a visa to study in Australia. Applying for a visa to Australia can be quite daunting, especially if you are new to the process.

There are many visa options, each with its own requirements, which can feel overwhelming.

You’ll need to choose the right visa category that matches your purpose, whether studying or working.

The complexity of the Australian visa system can make it challenging to determine which visa is the best fit for your individual circumstances.

The visa application process often involves extensive documentation, and missing even a single requirement can lead to delays or rejection.

You’ll need to gather documents about your identity, financial capacity, health, character, etc. This, on top of the visa application fees and waiting time, can add to the stress. 

So, what visa will be best for you?

Australian visa for international students 

Your bags are packed, and you are ready to embark on your exciting journey to study in Australia for the first time. But before you board that flight, the first important step is getting the right visa. 

For most international students, the most common visa is the Student Visa (Subclass 500). This visa lets you stay in Australia for the duration of your course, and it also allows you to work a certain number of hours per week during your studies. 

The student visa fees start from A$650 per visa application. To apply, you can go through the Australian immigration website or an education agent. However, the latter will come with a fee.

Here’s what you need you will need to prepare to apply for a visa:

Letter of offer

Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE): A document that will be issued by your education provider that verifies your enrolment in a specific course

English language proficiency: Citizenship from an English-speaking country or IELTS/TOEFL  scores.

Academic qualifications

Health and Character requirements – additional forms required

Proof of insurance through Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) 

Proof of financial stability – resources to cover return airfare, tuition costs, and a total of A$18,610 per year must be documented. Loans, parent financial history, and bank accounts are considered as evidence.

While the Student Visa allows some work, it’s important to follow the work restrictions, ensuring your primary focus remains on your studies. 

Based on your (subclass 500) visa, you are typically allowed to work a maximum of 48 hours per fortnight during your semester and unlimited hours during study breaks.

Staying in Australia after graduation

The Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) is an opportunity for international students who have completed their postgraduate studies in Australia.

This visa allows you to remain in the country temporarily after you’ve finished your course to gain valuable work experience and enhance your skills. 

The Subclass 485 visa has two streams: Graduate Work and Post-Study Work streams.

The Graduate Work stream is available to those with qualifications in specific skilled occupations, making it a stepping stone for those looking to launch their careers in Australia.

The Post-Study Work stream is especially beneficial for those who have earned higher education degrees like a master’s or a doctorate, allowing them to stay for an extended period, up to four years, and explore job opportunities in various fields.

The Subclass 485 visa has become increasingly popular among international students in Australia.

In January 2022, the government made a decision to help international students in Australia. They allowed students to work more hours than usual (40 hours per fortnight) to address a shortage of workers in the country. But this changed on June 30.

In July 2023, new rules came about. All international students are now allowed to work up to 48 hours per fortnight. That’s more hours for everyone, no matter when they start their studies.

More good news came with this. Now, once you finish your studies, you can stay and work in Australia longer.

Before, if you had a bachelor’s degree, you could stay for two years after finishing your course. If you had a master’s, it was three years; for PhD students, it was four years.

But since July 1, 2023, you can get an extra two years to work after your studies, especially if you work in regional areas. This means you have more opportunities to gain skills and experience in Australia.

Australian PR for international students

Obtaining an Australian Permanent Residency (PR) as an international student is a goal many aspire to achieve.

Australian PR offers numerous benefits, including access to healthcare, social security, and the opportunity to live, work, and study anywhere in the country. 

To begin your journey towards an Australian PR, you’ll usually need to choose the right visa pathway.

For many international students, this involves first completing a postgraduate degree in Australia. After your studies, you might be eligible for the Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485), which allows you to work and gain valuable experience in Australia.

Gaining local work experience is often a critical step in your Australian PR journey, as it can boost your points when applying for skilled migration visas.

The General Skilled Migration (GSM) programme is a popular way for international students to secure Australian PR. You’ll need to meet the points-based system, which assesses factors like your age, qualifications, work experience, and English language proficiency to qualify. 

Australia welcomes thousands of international students each year into its skilled migration programme, leading to successful PR applications.

Your Australian education can be a significant advantage when applying for PR, as the country values the skills and knowledge gained from its institutions. 

Remember that while it may require effort and patience, Australian PR is a real possibility for international students who have studied in the country and wish to call Australia their permanent home.

Is it easy to get an Australian PR?

While many dream of getting an Australian PR, it isn’t always easy.

In fact, a recent report from the Grattan Institute has shed light on the challenges international graduates face in Australia when it comes to gaining a PR and pursuing their chosen careers.

The report emphasises that encouraging international graduates to remain in Australia and struggle to secure permanent residency doesn’t benefit anyone. 

It points out that only about half of international students in Australia manage to find full-time employment, and many end up in low-skilled jobs with low earnings. 

Less than one-third of temporary graduate visa holders transition to permanent residency when their visas expire, a significant drop from two-thirds in 2014. 

It was found that some graduates return to further studies to extend their stay in Australia.

As a result, the number of temporary graduate visa-holders is expected to double by 2030, potentially leaving more graduates in what is called “visa limbo.”

To avoid this, a number of measures to address these challenges, including reducing the duration of post-study work visas, raising English language requirements, and limiting temporary graduate visas to younger individuals, have been suggested. 

Grattan Institute also suggests creating a new “Exceptionally Talented Graduate” visa and providing more support for international graduates pursuing their careers in Australia.
