MODL取消后，一下少了15分。总分从原来的130一下降到115，所以原本打算雅思考个6分就过关，现在要考到7分才行，这样总分才会达到125过关。
据目前掌握的情况来看，新政主要针对的是那些英语不熟练的普通技能申请者(比如说理发师、厨师之类)，通过收紧他们的移民配额，从而为刚毕业的学生留出更多的就业空间，减少国家的就业压力。
但对于我这种有10+yr工作经验的紧缺职业人士来说，无论在哪里我都是紧俏的。30出头的人，正是经验和体能结合的巅峰期，也是最能创造剩余价值的阶段。如果说连这类人士都要收紧移民配额的话，澳洲还指望剥削谁去?
所以可以放下心来，专心准备雅思考试。不过原本计划是3月底考的，现在因为对雅思要求一下从6提高到7，时间就会押后了。通常来说，雅思要提高1分，时间上需要准备3个月。因此，初步调整为6月底考。
但要看到，移民政策提到4月30日会出来一份新的SOL。按我的理解来看，既然MODL取消了，那就应该在SOL上给予一些紧缺职业更大的优惠。当前的移民评分规则是，首先你的职业要在SOL上，并且会根据你的职业紧缺程度给你一个分数(记为P.SOL)，然后在MODL上再给你一个分数(P.MODL)，最后通过CSL给出一个处理优先顺序。
从结构上来看，SOL是一个framework，MODL是一个module，而CSL只是当中的channel。channel影响着framewor响应module的priority(注意，只是priority，而不是point)。
原本module设计出来就已经有了自己的响应优先顺序(P.MODL)，channel说到底只是一个应对紧急情况的临时性措施(都说了是Critical)，为的是应对急剧变化的就业市场。临时性的措施毕竟有着诸多不足，framework要足够稳定，这类临时性的东西应该能少则少。经过一段时间的运行，澳洲政府发现当前的这个framework已经不足以解决一些中长期目标，需要refactor了。
Q 1 Why has the Migration Occupation in Demand List been revoked?
A review of the Migration Occupation in Demand List (MODL) was conducted due to concerns that it was not
supporting the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program to meet Australia’s medium to long-term future skill
needs. Findings of the review showed that the MODL was not effective in delivering a GSM program that meets
the future skill needs of the Australian labour market. A number of stakeholders participating in the review supported these fndings.
涉及到中长期目标，小打小闹的module修改已经不行了，只能对framework作refactor了。
Q 3 Why is the MODL being revoked without warning?
The outcomes of the review need to be implemented as quickly as possible in order for the GSM program to
provide the necessary skills required for the Australian labour market.
只是觉得有点匆忙了，莫非和政党上下台有关?

Q 1 Why has the Australian Government decided to change the Skilled Occupation List?
The government is replacing the current Skilled Occupation List (SOL) with a more targeted list of
occupations to better meet the medium and long-term future skill needs of the Australian economy. The new
SOL will be based on advice from ‘Skills Australia’ and it will deliver a General Skilled Migration (GSM) Program
more focused on high-value skills across the professions and trades.
再次重申中长期目标。
Q 2 What is ‘Skills Australia’?
Skills Australia has been established by the Australian Government to provide expert and independent advice
to the deputy prime minister on matters relating to Australia’s current, emerging and future workforce skills
and workforce development needs.
觉得引入这个“Skills Australia”有点诡异，估计是一帮人关起门来太公分猪肉，等利益分配达成共识后(4.30)，就可以出台一份新的SOL，于是就有新的framework了。
最后还是那句，是金子的话放在哪里都是会发光的!如果连移民这道门槛你也过不去，只能说明你目前还不够优秀，还不足以吸引发达的资本主义国家来剥削你。
