so surprised to see how this vast injustice has been in existence for so long? It must be a very sophisticated game play as leading the whole parliament to introduce and pass a bill is not an easy work.

really confused why the Australian government has not discovered this and corrected this very critical issue? anything behind?

There should be no migration agents.
ttbn,
if i could get a Dollar for every time I said exactly that I could get Paul1405 off my neck.
I feel really sorry for those genuine decent folk who paid their life savings to Immigration for nothing simply because the Agents asked for too much up front & people believed going straight to Immigration would be the right thing to do.
So, only those with money came to Australia & now we're copping the result of the rorts.
The poor decent applicants were left with nothing. I wonder how their thousands of Dollars paid to Immigration were distributed !
We need to import brains to replace the deadened local ones. I'm certain that if asked, new, young migrants would jump to the opportunity to start life in Australia with a non-military national Service & they would become better Australians than the ones that have been bred here since that Goaf dismantled the National Service.

Good!

One believes all those displaced by this legislation will move to Dutton's marginal and other marginal coalition electorates along with their, also voting family and friends. So they can bring some pressure to bear where and when it counts? Or, just roll over and beg for a tummy rub, or study law and get your degree?

The remedy is entirely in your own hands!? And as far as I'm aware, you get paid to learn in a earn or learn paradigm? I mean, one does not need to go to a university to study a particular branch of law/get accreditation? I know of several retired Judges who'd do it pro bono?

Looks like Peter Dutton is based in Strathpine Northern Suburbs of Brisbane. I wish him well. It seems like quite a few with traditional views come from Queensland. Kudos.

I agree with you ttbn.

Migrant consumers would be the worst affected. They will be compelled to pay the heavy lawyer's fees and at the same time put their future in the hands of a person without any knowledge or training of migration procedures and processes. No thought was given about consumers' needs when handing a blanket approval to more than 60000 lawyers irrespective of whether they are trained or skilled in migration procedures. Is this the way of creating a world class migration service?
