The following email has just been received by the NSW State Government:

Will my driving record affect my chances of getting Australian citizenship? 

That is perhaps the most common question that may be asked by applicants who wish to acquire Australian citizenship “by conferral”, after first obtaining permanent residency and then meeting the residency requirements of the Australian Citizenship Act. 

After all, practically everyone drives a car, and practically everyone commits a traffic infraction of some sort! 

Liana Allan, the Convenor of Migration Alliance, attended a small ceremony and morning tea today at 10am, at the AAT. The celebration was held at the Sydney AAT which is located at Level 6, 83 Clarence Street, Sydney to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.

The event marks the 40th anniversary since the opening of the Tribunal and the 1st anniversary of the Tribunal’s amalgamation with the Migration Review Tribunal, the Refugee Review Tribunal and the Social Security Appeals Tribunal.

This event was an opportunity to reflect on the unique contribution of the AAT in Australia’s justice system and to acknowledge those who have been integral in the successful implementation of the amalgamation to date. Sir Gerard Brennan KBE QC, the AAT’s first President was in attendance and gave a speech. There was also an opportunity to tour the Tribunal’s new Sydney Registry.

I was speaking to the moderator for MA and was told that there are masses of trolls lurking under virtual bridges out there just busting their guts to participate in some trollageddon where they can let it all hang out.

I have asked the moderator is refer all trolls to Troll Corner so that we can all enjoy what spews from them as commentary.

Calling all trolls...earth to trolls, wakey wakey.....
