Boldly written

NNBB2012:
For clarity purpose, the plain meaning of the two lists (effective as from 19th April) and their impacts:

Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) replaces former SOL list:
Hence you must nominate an occupation on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) if you are applying for any of the below:

Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189)
Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 489) (unless nominated by a State or Territory Government)
Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) – Graduate Work Stream.

https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Work/Skills-assessment-and-assessing-authorities/skilled-occupations-lists
If your occupation has been removed from MLTSSL eventhough you have already got a positive assessment but yet to lodge, you WON'T be able to apply for any visa mentioned above anymore except if the occupation is on STSOL list and any particular region or state/territory is sponsoring it.

Short-Term Skilled Occupation list replaces former CSOL list:

Hence you must nominate an occupation on the STSOL if you are applying for any of the below:

Employer Nominated Scheme (subclass 186) – Direct Entry Stream
Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190)
Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 489) - if nominated by a State or Territory Government
Temporary Work (Skilled) visa (subclass 457)
Training visa (subclass 407)​​​​
You can find the details in Schedule 2 of the legislative instrument.
https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2017L00450

You need to be sure also that states or regions are sponsoring such occupations. It is not enough to find your occupation on the STSOL, you must be certain that a state or region is sponsoring and that you can meet any applicable condition of the region or state.
Note: Australian Migration Laws change from time to time. Whatever you need to do regarding migrating to Australia, do it fast.
If your occupations have been removed from the list, there is no point wasting your money and effort on it; it is gone.
For those who want to study, always study an occupation that you are sure will always be relevant to Australia market and that will not require experience for an assessment afterward.
An occupation such as 'Petroleum Engineer' and 'Human Resource Adviser' have been removed from the list, hence people who have positive assessment could no longer apply for any valid visa using these occupations and others that have been removed.
If you had admission to study 'Petroleum Engineering' and have mind of getting PR afterward, you will be wasting your time and money.These and many more will NEVER lead to PR except by marriage to an Australian PR holder or citizen which is not automatic. So, be guided!

teewhysafe:
Wow. It is well o

Just to clarify; Does this mean, we cant apply for state nomination, visa 190 if the occupation is on the MLTSSL list?

What if my occupation is in high availability in a particular state but not in the new MLTSSL And STSSOL, can I still nominate such occupation?
