Rainbow Beach, about three hours north of Brisbane and the gateway to
Fraser Island, is typical of the former fishing villages that are now being made
over as more Australians try to find the "new Noosa".
Places such as Yamba in northern NSW, Blueys Beach near Forster in NSW, Apollo Bay in Victoria, and Yallingup in Western Australia are all towns that have previously been just a bit too far outside capital cities.
But now they're changing. The coastal strips close to Australia's major cities, such as the central coast in NSW, the Gold and Sunshine coasts in Queensland, and the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, have all grown quickly since the 1990s and are now getting crowded and, for many, overpriced.
It's the places just past these - such as Rainbow Beach, about an hour
north of Noosa - that are now undergoing their own metamorphoses.
据12月21日《悉尼晨锋报》报道,12月21日上午,联邦法院裁定,之前在黄金海岸医院任职的Haneef可以重新获得工作签证。
今年8月,联邦法院曾裁定,移民部取消Haneef医生的工作签证不合法,但政府律师随即向联邦法院上诉庭上诉,坚称由于Haneef医生与英国机场爆炸案两名恐怖分子有关系,移民部有权取消他的签证。
Haneef的律师Peter Russo称,尽管遭到了前政府不公平待遇,这位27岁的医生仍非常乐意返回黄金海岸,继续行医。他希望在澳大利亚完成为期四年的实习,拿到医师资格。
今年7月2日,Haneef医生在布里斯班国际机场被联邦警察逮捕,指控他与英国格拉斯哥机场爆炸案有关,但警方最终放弃了对他的刑事指控。
他的工作签证被移民部取消,理由是他的“品行不端”。他于7月29日离开澳大利亚返回印度家中。
According to the Housing Industry Association, the boom took Melbourne's average monthly mortgage repayment to $2529 in September, essentially pricing out thousands of average-income families.
But Australians for Affordable Housing spokesman David Imber said average families had been priced out by too much to wait for the situation to correct itself.
