Australia - the uncertainty continues......

The General Election in Australia on Saturday has produced a "hung" parliament which only results in continued uncertainty for migrants.

Both the ruling Labor party and the opposition conservative coalition have fallen short of the 76 seats needed for a majority. Negotiations will now start with independent MPs to secure support to form a government.

For the moment, the Labor party remains in power with Julia Gillard remaining as Prime Minister.

We hope a new government can be formed quickly that will be stable enough to implement a long term immigration strategy. Anything else makes it difficult for migrants to plan ahead in any knowledge of when their application can be processed.

Fingers crossed for some positive news soon
