Australia warns on migrant cuts

Australia may cut the number of immigrants who are allowed into the country if the global financial crisis raises unemployment levels.

Australian Immigration Minister Chris Evans said a decision on reducing numbers would be taken after mid-year financial data is published next month.

Around 190, 300 immigrants are forecast to arrive in Australia in 2008/09. Earlier this month, a British minister said the country could reduce migrant flows due to the economic crisis. Mr Evans said the country's current migrant programme, which is aimed at skilled workers, was designed when Australia was forecasting good economic growth and a skills shortage.

"The government will take a calm look at those issues and make a decision when we have got proper information," he told Nine Network television.

"Clearly if the demand for labour comes off, you'd adjust the migration programme appropriately," he said. "We can turn the taps off if we need to. " Mr Evans said that any decision on cutting migrant flows was complex, considering their contribution to the country's economy. "We know that they consume, they buy property, and they're a net positive to the budget, " he said. "And a lot of the skills that are coming in at the moment are in the mining sector, which has allowed us to increase our exports. "

He said there were still industries which had a "strong demand" for labour and the government would analyse the economic situation and consult industry before deciding on what to do.

2010年10月26日,某铁矿发生火灾事故,由于该矿和临矿互通,火灾共涉及5个铁矿,造成百人被困井下。经多方抢救,遇难矿工人数仍达70人。随即成立了国务院事故调查组,调查组由国家安全生产监督管理总局、监察部、全国总工会、国土资源部、省人民政府联合组成,分为综合、技术、管理三个组。国务院事故调查组经初步调查,认定事故发生的直接原因是:维修工在井筒内使用电焊,焊割下的高温金属残块及焊渣掉落在井壁用于充填护帮的荆笆上,造成长时间阴燃,最后引燃井筒周围的荆笆及木支护等可燃物,引发井下火灾。5家矿山越界开采,造成各矿井下巷道贯通,风流紊乱,火灾烟气蔓延,各矿均未按要求设置井下作业人员逃生的安全通道,直接导致了事故的升级和扩大。
