澳大利亚政府提出对该国工作假期签证进行修改，英国背包客可能被迫在偏远地区停留更长时间。
British backpackers in Australia could be forced to spend more time in regional areas under proposed changes to the country's working holiday visa.
澳大利亚政府表示，该签证目前的形式导致英国背包客数量激增，他们常常选择留在悉尼的海滨郊区。

安迪·伯纳姆本周将在加勒比海的英联邦政府首脑会议上与澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯会面，讨论对自由贸易协定（FTA）的拟议修改，该协定取消了偏远地区工作要求。
Andy Burnham will this week meet Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at the Commonwealth heads of government meeting in the Caribbean to discuss proposed changes to the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) that removed the regional work requirement.
该协定于2021年在鲍里斯·约翰逊任期内签署，还将签证年龄上限提高到35岁，并将最长停留期延长至三年。
Signed in 2021 under Boris Johnson, the FTA also increased the age limit for the visa to 35 and extended the maximum period to three years.

Mr Albanese will not request a cap on the number of young Britons visiting Australia, but instead push for a requirement to compel UK backpackers to spend more time in regional areas.
但预计，要求澳大利亚无视英国在FTA下获得的关键胜利，对伯纳姆来说将是一场艰难的推销，因为该协定的条款不开放重新谈判。
But pleas to allow Australia to ignore the key wins Britain secured under the FTA are expected to be a tough sell for Mr Burnham, with the terms of the agreement not open to renegotiation.
无人机活动导致航班混乱 来自澳大利亚作为工作假期游客前往英国的人也从这些变化中受益，最长停留期同样延长至三年。

Under changes announced by the Australian government, backpackers from other countries who are looking to stay longer than one year will have to complete their rural work to enter a lottery to extend beyond one year. The number of places for second and third year visas has also been significantly reduced.
此前，根据签证条件，英国背包客需要在澳大利亚完成88天的地区工作，这是为缓解农业等领域劳动力短缺而推动的一项举措。
