The following is the 'Morrison Ministry'.

Migration Alliance members will be interested to learn that the new Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs (DICMA) is now David Coleman MP.  Importantly this position is NOT in Cabinet.  

Alex Hawke MP has been moved to Special Minister of State and is no longer the Assistant Immigration Minister.

Australia’s peak professional association for Registered Migration Agents, Migration Alliance, congratulates the Hon Scott Morrison on his appointment as Australia's thirtieth Prime Minister.

Founder of Migration Alliance, Liana Allan says, “Scott Morrison’s background as Australia's Minister for Immigration, and having spearheaded the Australian Border Force will best position the Government to see the potential of Australian immigration for this country. I believe that as Australia's next Prime Minister, Morrison will be a friend to Australian migration agencies and and improve on the notion that Australia is a number one global country of choice of migrants."

"Migration Alliance wants to work with the government on a vision for Australian immigration, and want policies that encourage migration agent business confidence and of course investment in the promotion of Australia as a key destination for new migrants."

Everyone loves a good countdown...
