Chalmers responds on immigration
Treasurer Jim Chalmers took another question on immigration from the Coalition. This faction believes that the Labor Party cannot be trusted after withdrawing its plan to cut Australia’s refugee admission quota, a decision that is said to cost the budget an estimated 7 billion AUD.
Mr Chalmers said: “Immigration is a force that benefits our communities, our country and our economy, as long as the system is run properly.”
“The difference between this side of Parliament, Mr. Speaker, and the other side is that our immigration policy is decided by Cabinet ministers. The Liberal Party’s immigration policy is determined by what happens in the cockpit of a plane funded by a billionaire,” he said.

STRATEGIC ADVICE FROM DE1 CONSULTANCY EXPERTS
Comprehensive information from the Australian Department of Home Affairs, Sydney Morning Herald and ABC News opens up extremely important directions for customers:
- Very positive news for Vietnamese international students: Exception regulations for ASEAN countries and Doctoral (PhD) levels help Vietnamese international students still maintain the opportunity to bring their families/spouses/children, reducing pressure compared to other markets.
- Course Progression: Absolutely do not apply to transfer from University to a less prestigious vocational training (VET/Diploma) in Australia because the risk of visa refusal and deportation is almost 100%.
- Tourist Visa Applicants (Subclass 600): Condition 8503 (No Further Stay) will be applied to all new visas, forcing applicants to identify the correct purpose of travel and return on time.
- Great opportunity for the Construction & Healthcare industry: Directive 119 has just urgently added the Construction (Trades/Construction), Agriculture and Teaching industries to the priority areas for fastest approval.
