Take our strictified entry conditions to this lucky country, for instance. So, now someone has been refused a skilled work visa coz' she's flunked the computer-based Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE Academic), which was approved by the Australian Government’s Department of Immigration and Border Protection in 2014, and uses voice recognition technology. The person concerned has a doctorate in veterinary science and is Irish.

Maybe she has the sort of Irish accent that no one can understand apart from a fellow Irishperson...

Thanks, captain obvious. That's what motivates the creators of fake news, innit?

If I was Kim Jong Un, I would give all Australian MPs North Korean citizenship. Then they'd all be ineligible. :ab:
