Poll reveals most important quality Australians want from new migrants

More than three-quarters of Australians say having the skills to find a job is a top priority when determining who can move to the country.

New polling suggests a strong majority of Australians consider migrants' ability to get a job is much more important than their religion or country of origin. 

An Essential Research poll, commissioned exclusively for SBS News, found three-quarters of respondents named "having skills and qualifications that will allow them to find a job" as a top three priority in determining whether someone should be allowed to move to Australia. 

Of those, nearly a third ranked it as the most important deciding factor out of eight criteria.
