    This has always been about the $$, not “points”. The idea that somehow these applicants were screened in some way other than their ability to stuff envelopes, is ridiculous.

    What do those points mean? What criteria was used to earn points? Come on SA, do some real reporting.

  3. fiveo says:

    Giving the scores are meaningless without knowing the criteria on which the points were based.
    Just another example of SA’s lousy reporting or lack of reporting. Take your choice on which it is.
