“The impact of processing delays is felt not only by students abroad, we risk losing some of the best and brightest minds ready to solve big challenges and contribute to communities across Australia.”
The main problem in many industries in Australia is the shortage of highly skilled individuals. Comments below this tweet show real examples of how talented young individuals are disadvantaged in unnecessary & inefficient processes: this is impacting not only them but Australia.

Iranians face an unrecognised inequality in their careers, from months/years of waiting for visas, to sanction checks for every employment even decades after they leave their country. All of these are pushed as extra burden to the individuals & is simply systematic discrimination

They picked the youth from the streets,
Threw them on a chariot,
Locked the doors of the dark cellar.
The youth are the grapes,
They’ll gradually turn into wine,
And make the city drunk,
Wiping the sleep from the eyes off the streets.

How do you build resilience potable water infrastructure? We've got a primer produced by Resilient Organisations that looks at ‘what’ can be done, ‘why’ it should be done, and ‘how’ to put it into practice. Download it here:

I blame this on the editor and associate editor, as their role is to provide direction based on the synthesis of the comments of the expert reviewers and their own review. The paper MUST look better after the peer review process and I have seen it happening.
