I hope the thread owner would give you a better answer. But to answer your question as per my knowledge,
01. There are two visa categories 189 and 190. (see whether you are eligible to apply under one of those and then follow the procedure. That's how you apply for PR
02. For visa category 190 you need to have a state sponsorship which'll give you 05 extra points and for the visa sub class 475 the state/teritory would give you 10 points. (but mind you visa sub class 475 is not a PR but a temporary visa for 4 years and after that you can apply for a PR)
In fact the answers are there in the begging of the thread if you closely read all the posts.
thanks for the comment machan. appreciate it. I'll read the thread carefully again.
