Australia has engineers driving Uber – migrants' skills and qualifications need to be recognised now
It's time to reduce barriers so more qualified Australians who started their careers and education overseas can fill skill shortages crippling the economy. Making overseas skills and qualifications recognition faster, fairer and more affordable would enable more people to fully use their skills, unlocking immediate productivity gains. We can realise this productivity boost right now – no need to wait years for trickle-down effects from new infrastructure or large investments. Our campaign, Activate Australia's Skills, has laid out four practical solutions to fix the skills recognition system. First, we need a national governance system for skills recognition, with an ombudsman to make it fair and transparent. There is currently no single body responsible for ensuring the system works as it is intended. Second, we must bridge the gap between our migration and employment recognition systems. It makes no sense that someone deemed skilled enough to migrate here to work in a specific profession is then blocked from working in that field due to disconnected recognition and licensing systems. Third, we need to reduce cost and information barriers. It can cost tens of thousands of dollars for migrants to have their overseas-acquired skills and qualifications recognised here. And that's if you're actually able to navigate the complex system of 77 assessing authorities across 650 occupations. We need more financial support and clear, centralised information for applicants. Finally, we must establish career gateways – local employment hubs with navigators – to help migrants get recognised. These hubs would be located in areas with high migrant populations. Unlike other services focused on unemployment, the hubs would address underemployment, supporting people working below their skill level to get into their professions again. There are more than 620,000 permanent migrants in Australia unable to work to their full qualification level. Two-thirds of these workers came through Australia's skilled migration program, meaning we specifically selected them for their valuable skills. Instead, we've got engineers driving Ubers while those very professions face critical shortages. Getting these workers back into their fields would benefit migrants themselves, along with the 90% of leaders who report that their businesses are experiencing skills shortages. It would also benefit everyday Australians by easing shortages such as the 10,000 childcare workers needed or 200 GP clinics that close every year. There is also an economic incentive to the tune of $9bn additional GPD per year over the next 10 years if we better harnessed the skills of migrants already here. The main concern people raise when they hear about reforming skills recognition is what it means for Australia's high standards. These reforms are not about lower standards. We're talking about addressing barriers that are unrelated to people's skills: unfair assessments, excessive fees and unaccountable licensing bodies that create unnecessary obstacles. This will not reduce the quality of professional practice. In fact, making the system more efficient and transparent will help uphold standards. What sets these productivity reforms apart is that they're ready to go. They don't require years of negotiation or billions in spending. They require leadership, coordination and a commitment to fairness, but would deliver benefits quicker than just about any solution on the table. The government has called for bold ideas to boost productivity. This is one of them. It's simple, fair and already backed by more than 100 organisations across business, unions and civil society. It's time to activate Australia's skills for the benefit of all. Other countries have already shown the way. Countries such as Canada, Germany, Sweden, and the UK have implemented similar reforms and are now reaping the productivity benefits from fairer and faster skills recognition.

Zinc market shrugs off low LME stocks as another false signal
LONDON, Aug 13 (Reuters) - London Metal Exchange (LME) zinc stocks have been falling for the last seven months. What's left would cover barely one day's worth of global consumption of the galvanizing metal. But if this is a genuine squeeze on availability, no one's told the zinc market. Zinc has underperformed the rest of the LME base metals pack all year and is still, uniquely, trading below its year-start price to the tune of 4%. True, time-spreads have been tightening, but they remain in small contango, suggesting the near depletion of available inventory is not being taken as a true reflector of the physical world beyond the LME. It wouldn't be the first time LME zinc stocks have flattered to deceive the unwary. Moreover, there's a cast-iron analyst consensus that this is a market moving inexorably into significant supply surplus, so it's just a matter of time before exchange inventory recovers. Short-position holders, however, can only hope that some of that surplus shows up in exchange warehouses sooner rather than later. LME-registered zinc inventory has fallen to a two-year low of 78,475 metric tons, with available stocks even lower at 45,700 tons. What remains is almost all located in Singapore, an exchange delivery point that has been the focal point for both zinc and lead arrivals since late 2023. LME zinc stocks in Singapore jumped from 58,000 tons to more than 200,000 tons in the second half of November that year as surplus metal was drawn out of the shadows by lucrative warehouse rental deals. The metal has subsequently churned in and out of the system as traders played the LME warehouse arbitrage game. Zinc stocks in Singapore ended 2024 up by a modest net 35,550 tons on the year, but 691,500 tons were actually delivered in and out of LME sheds in the port. Optics swung from bullish to bearish depending on the stock rotation cycle, diminishing the utility of LME warehouse inventory as a market signal. The last significant Singapore stocks churn was in April, when almost 90,000 tons of zinc were warranted in the space of two days. But movement since then has been largely one-way and inventory has slumped by 144,250 tons since the start of January. Nor has there been any offsetting rise in off-warrant inventory held in LME-registered warehouses as was the case last year, when metal was moving between warehouse operators. LME off-warrant stocks total just 16,472 tons, of which 4,842 tons are stored in Singapore. There has been a noticeable pick-up in Singapore's zinc exports in the first half of this year, with outbound volumes of 153,000 tons already matching last year's full 12-month tally. There are no zinc smelters on the island, meaning this is LME metal on the move. Inbound shipments, meanwhile, have slowed to just 27,000 tons from 82,000 tons in the second half of 2024. Singapore's exports have flowed to a wide variety of Asian countries, suggesting LME stocks have been drawn down to fill supply-chain gaps left by smelter disruptions. Toho Zinc (5707.T), opens new tab has closed its Annaka smelter in Japan for good, while Youngpoong's ( opens new tab Seokpo plant in South Korea was forced to take a 58-day break after a water discharge violation. Nyrstar has reduced output, opens new tab at its Hobart smelter in Australia by 25% since March and Glencore (GLEN.L), opens new tab shuttered part of its Portovesme smelting complex at the end of last year. While Western smelters are struggling, Chinese producers are ramping up aggressively as supplies of mined concentrate improve. China's refined zinc output rose by 4% on a year-over-year basis in the January-July period, according to local data provider Shanghai Metal Market, which forecasts the year-to-date rate will accelerate to 7% in August. Treatment charges for imported raw material have recovered from negative territory at the end of 2024 to $82.00 per ton as a recovery in global mine production travels down the processing chain. China's imports of zinc concentrates jumped by 48% on a year-over-year basis in the January-June period thanks to accelerated flows from Democratic Republic of Congo and Russia, where the new Kipushi and Ozernoye mines are ramping up, respectively. So far, however, the extra zinc has remained in China. Exports of refined metal amounted to just 12,700 tons in the first half of 2025. The London zinc market has been remarkably unconcerned by the depletion of exchange stocks. The LME benchmark cash-to-three-months spread has tightened from a contango of more than $30 per ton at the start of June to $5 as stocks have steadily fallen. But by way of comparison, the last time LME inventory was this low, the spread traded in consistent backwardation. Exchange lending guidance may be playing a part in the relaxed spreads with LME reports showing two significant long positions on the cash date equivalent to at least 90% of currently available stocks. But the wide divergence between spread and stock signals suggests there is no real panic because no one thinks the physical supply chain is that tight. Zinc demand is doing no more than flat-lining due to weak construction activity just about everywhere and the global market registered nearly a 90,000-ton supply surplus in the January-May period, according to the International Lead and Zinc Study Group. The question, however, is how much of that calculated surplus is actually available for LME delivery. And, perhaps more critically given the tension in the London zinc market, how quickly can it get to a LME delivery point?

Man's row with DFS over sofa which 'lost colour' just months after purchase
Willie Scott says the furniture giant has turned a deaf ear to his complaint. A fuming customer claims sofa giant DFS sold him a dodgy recliner. Willie Scott is engaged in a bitter battle over the leather three-seater which lost its colour within months of purchase. Willie, 62, shelled out almost £3000 for ex-display kit which soon went wrong. DFS chiefs, who sold the sofa at their store in Ayr, are standing firm and refusing to replace it under warranty. Willie, of Ayr, said: "Marks started to appear on the leather within four months of getting it home. "When I first complained to DFS, they were trying to blame things like oil from the skin and dye transfer. "I'd taken out extended warranty so they sent out the firm called Guardsman that deals with that. They've twice re-sprayed it but the problem just returns. "They've now offered to order new parts and replace the bits that are discoloured but the guy warned me they may not appear exactly the same. It will look like a patchwork quilt." Willie, who for many years was the famous face behind Ayr United's Pandamonium mascot, added: "The thing that's annoyed me most has been the customer care from DFS. "Whenever I've tried to go in the store and complain, they always claim there's no manager available to speak to me. "It's been constant hassle and it feels like they're just not interested now that they've got my money so I've been forced to go to the Ombudsman now. When contacted by Ayrshire Live, a spokesperson for DFS said they were "very sorry to hear that Mr Scott is unhappy with his leather sofa." They added: "Mr Scott bought an ex-display sofa, at a discounted price, in our clearance sale. "At the time of purchase, it did not show any signs of leather deterioration or discolouration despite repeated use in store. "With leather being a natural product, and therefore porous, it can change texture or colour over time due to a combination of factors including exposure to sunlight, dye transfer from the owner's clothing, applying non-leather specific cleaning products or repeated exposure to oils in the skin. "Following the initial complaint, no manufacturing fault was found. Guardsman identified that the issue was caused by dye transfer within the home and activated Mr Scott's leather care insurance policy. "Guardsman has informed us that, under the insurance policy, they have ordered new parts to repair the areas of discolouration and are currently working with Mr Scott to resolve his claim. "If Mr Scott remains unhappy, we recommend that he gets in touch with the Ombudsman as it is their job to find a fair and reasonable outcome and we are obligated to act on their findings if they differ from those of Guardsman. We hope we can find a satisfactory outcome."
