Yes if he lives in a designated regional area he could sponsor for 10 points on a 489 visa but the applicant would still need an occupation on the list, Skills assessment and 50 points of their own.

It's nothing like a free pass.

The old days was for a 176 visa which was 100 points, they still need an occupation, skills assessment where as the independent 175 was 120 points not unlike the system today.

The only other way is last remaining relative or refugee reunion.
