Australia Primary and secondary education is to a high international standard, education from an Australian educational institution is therefore respected worldwide and there is a strong demand for people from overseas to send their children to Australia.
Mr Greg Barns, the president of the Australian Lawyers Alliance, has indeed confirmed that under the new Immigration Act, any non-Australians who have spent a period of twelve months or more in prison in Australia have a very big chance of being deported from the country.
The Department of Immigration and Border Protection of Australia has played down its decision to cease the processing of over sixteen thousand ”Priority 5” claims.
Nearly half of the number of those who can call themselves Australians are actually born overseas or at least have parents that have both been born overseas. These new Australians however, in-spite of the great contribution they have been giving to their adopted home, still face the very hard task of being taken in by our society.
The number of Australian Temporary Work (Skilled) (Subclass 457) visa applications rose by 15% between 2014 and 2015, according to the latest figures released by the Australian Immigration Department.
Following the signing of an Australia-China free trade agreement on the 17th of June, the Australian Federal Government has extended its three year multiple entry visa to ten years for Chinese nationals.

The media has been rife with reports over the last few days, of the Australian government supposedly bribing boats containing asylum seekers to turn around upon reaching Australian shores.
Around the same time the UN high commissioner for human rights, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, has criticised Australia in front of the Geneva humans rights council. He called Australia’s new asylum seeker policies bewildering and suggested that, as a nation that is highly reliant on and predominately composed of migrants or descendants-of-migrants, Australia is setting a poor standard for other countries in terms of their foreign policy.
Maria Sevilla arrived in Australia with her son Tyrone in 2007 on a skilled provisional work visa. She has trained and worked as a nurse in Townsville, Queensland since then and applied to renew her visa recently. Sadly, her son was diagnosed with autism six months after they arrived in Australia, and when the government were informed of this her visa renewal application was rejected.
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton explained that programs and resources for differently-abled Australian children are already lacking and that an assessment of the Sevilla’s visa application would have to take this into account. Dutton has to ensure that we can adequately support the education and medical treatment of Australia’s own children before committing itself to Tyrone’s case.
