A friend of mine from the UK tried to emigrate to Oz. Was too old and/or not supervising enough people.

In the US too, it is easier to immigrate legally when you are young. The easiest route in is to come as a student, do the practical training for a year and then try to get sponsored for an H1-B or Green Card. This became a lot tougher in the last year though as the number of H1-Bs for non-academic positions has been sharply reduced. Even more reason to outsource to India IMHO :) If you can't bring the Indians here, send the work there.... Of course the outrageous bit is the family reunion rules, where you can then bring in a whole chain of family members of any age. They make them wait an awful long time though... So most legal immigrants to the US are under this category rather than skills. In Aus that doesn't seem to be an issue and only spouse and children it would seem can be brought in... If you don't have an employer lined up or family members (and you will wait a decade for processing for that) then the investor clause is really the only option. Unless you are an extremely outstanding prof, scientist, artist etc.
