Australia's ruling Labor Party seems set to stay in government after receiving the backing of Independent MPs after the recent election.
Julia Gillard will stay as PM - it remains to be seen who will be Minister for Immigration.
This new government is unlikely to be very stable with only a 1 vote majority in Parliament. At least the uncertainty of the last 2 weeks is at an end but whether this will allow the government to move on with robustly implementing its policies remains to be seen.
The formation of a new government will come as a relief to many migrants who are hoping for Australia to start actively processing applications again. Now all we need is for the Federal government to start to agree State Migration Plans for State sponsored migration !
