Hi goldov, while it is difficult for an immigrant to establish themselves in any country, I do not agree with this assessment of Australia.
We have many educated immigrants and a very free labor market. This means there are many paths for skilled migrants to enter Australia and they face less discrimination in the job market than in most other countries. Additionally, political connections to the Australian government mean little, as there are two roughly equal competing political parties and a very weak civil service.
The standard of living is also above that of the UK, with much lower wealth and income inequality, a lower cost of living and similar wages.
While Australia has many problems, it is a very good place for migrants with skills in technology and engineering fields.
