When I was looking for work in Oz it was a common site to see "Australian Citizen only"

Australia like to promote using Australian people and goods generally. I think its a good thing. We should take a leaf out of there book instead of being spineless, politically correct wimps.

Can they seriously get away with this?!

errm if the job is in Oz then what's wrong with that - the gov is protecting their own workers in the downturn, would be good sometimes to see similar ads like that here to help clear the benches IMHO

Depends on location - if they don't think you'll pass the local immigration rules, and an Aussie would, then yes.
