Australian Immigration Daily News

Officials at Sydney International Airport have used new legislation to cancel a passenger’s visitor visa for the first time because of a serious biosecurity breach.

Minister for Agriculture, Bridget McKenzie, said the cancellation showed that Australia would not tolerate people putting our environment, industries, economy and way of life at risk.

“The biosecurity threats that our country is facing are real and could be devastating for all Australians,” Minister McKenzie said.

Immigration Minister, David Coleman MP has said today,  "Already we’re seeing results. The Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) has increased by 179 per cent and the Regional Skilled Sponsored visa has increased by 79 per cent, meaning we are well on track to meet our target of 23,000 regional visas by the end of the program year."

“These regional visas are a key pillar of our Population Plan which is working to ease the pressure on the big capitals while supporting the growth of those regions that want more people.”

Earlier this year, the Government announced two new provisional skilled regional visas that will enable regional businesses to fill vacant jobs faster when Australian workers are not available, and encourage skilled migrants and their families to settle and remain in regional areas.
