In case, you missed it:  
 
The Australian Government has advertised expressions of interest in those becoming Members of the Migration Review Tribunal (MRT) and Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) .
 
These are statutory appointments for five years and can be for those wanting to work from Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne or Brisbane. Part time and full time appointments are on offer.
 
Every year about thirty or forty positions become open. The tribunals currently have a total membership of about 140, including about 50 full-time and 73 part-time members.

If RMAs are interested in becoming MRT-RRT members to ensure our merits review system is fair and timely, they should consider applying.
 
Applications close on 18 February 2015.

I will be passing on my proxy vote to John Hourigan with specific instructions to vote against the motion for the reasons expounded in the submission of the QLD/NT MIA Committee.
