This was received this morning from the DIBP:

Dear Registered Migration Agent

The following information has been provided by the Business Innovation, Occupation and Employer Sponsored Policy Section.

Information regarding the Permanent Employer Sponsored visa programme should be sourced only from the Department of Immigration and Border Protection’s (DIBP’s) website, as the website contains the most up-to-date information regarding these visas.
