I will tell you one last time … if your wife was a teacher … she could obtain a visa, I don’t even know if it’s a 175 anymore … once it’s granted she can enter and do any job she pleased you can be a applicant on her application and so could of any child under 18 only the main applicant has their skills assessed. And all over 18 have police checks and medicals. As long as you meet the requirements at the time of the visa grant you are fine.
Where did I say that being on the approved occupations list doesn’t entitle close relatives and spouses in on the same visa.
That’s not the same thing as being a single Brit hoping to go there to work as a truck driver and asking them,if having a great aunt and second cousins there that he’s never known,would help with the application,when they say sorry no visa. 
But obviously wouldn’t have needed one if I’d been old enough to go when the film The Cattle Carters was made/set. 
I never claimed to be a single Brit, coming over to drive a truck … I really do not know how you could consider a truck driver as a skilled profession … NZ yeah they might and did… and for your info … my relative lives in NZ, and when I wanted to visit for over 3 months he said he would employ me to bypass the visa rules … if you want proof I will put a copy of the work permit on line …
On a 175 visa you can’t have close relatives it’s partner and children … family would be a different visa… my point stands and no offence to the decent drivers but trucking isn’t exactly rocket science , no job is unless trained … well bar being a rocket scientist… now if you want the proof I can post the visa permit for NZ.
Yes exactly ‘who’ fits the definition of being able to enter with and/or based on someone else who is on the recognised jobs list is obviously a matter of detail.But ‘close relatives’ seems to cover most of the applicable bases.But what is certain is that a 175 visa is anything but ‘unrestricted’ being subject to all the same bs ‘recognised’ trades and points requirements.With it being fair to say that working there as an immigrant truck driver is effectively impossible,with a few exceptions,as I said.
As for NZ,the fact that you can work there because you’ve got a ‘close relative’ there seems consistent with all that,just as in the case of getting into Oz based on a partner with recognised trade status.Although I’m betting that it isn’t a second cousin there fitting that definition ?.As for the rest of us as I said sometimes truck driving gets on their list of recognised occupations and just as easily gets removed.At which point as I said that applies retrospectively which means deportation for existing immigrant workers.The whole situation,of free movement between here and the slavic world,but not with our old English speaking colonies,is a sick joke. 
None of which changes the fact that you would rightly be sacked from any truck driving job there or get nicked if you tried to load up a B double outfit to 90t gcw.That’s even if there was room to fit it all on its compromised load deck space. 
Lol, 1, it’s not a second cousin … my wife was the main applicant… your taking away from the fact of the 175: the main applicant has to meet the set criteria at the time … other persons on the applications are not required to do so … as soon as you fly to Australia passport is stamped you are free to do whatever you want as a career or job…
Now, re in relation to loading the trucks in Australia. If it’s over the limit the companies get fined … it’s called a chain of responsibility… you are aware that the trailers are longer in Australia … ie 48 pallet spaces etc… the company who load are obliged to ensure all the weight that goes on is correctly audited and the driver is made aware l. So if the company state one and it’s factually incorrect then they get the fine …
Classic example, A truck gets pulled over or pulled into a RMS inspection area, same as the vosa ones… however these are compulsory and if it states open you drive through… and stop if directed.
If a truck gas a bald tyre it will been impounded until it’s changed …the driver gets no points on his/her licence … if the vehicle is sealed again the COR lies with the loaders not the drivers … all fines go to the companies.
Truck driving will never be on the skills list in Australia as it’s not a skill … you don’t even need to take a test here in Australia … you do a day’s training … wait at a said point , if the rms examiner doesn’t turn up you drive then the instructor gives you the paperwork … you do not couple uncouple etc … you might reverse in a straight line that’s about it … you need to understand the difference between a temp and perm visa a 175 is perm you don’t get deported when it runs out as it never runs out lol, you really are clueless on this issue … you obviously never did a 175 visa application but telling a person who has been through the process they are wrong You joker.
