What is the correct interpretation of the term “main business” in Regulation 1.11? 

This is not merely an academic question, of interest only to those who wish to delve into the arcane and Byzantine intricacies of migration law. 

No, the question has genuine, real world, practical importance for people who have held Provisional Business Skills visas (subclass 163) and who, after several years of conducting their businesses in Australia, are seeking Residence Business Skills visas (subclass 892). 

Okay so we know that inventory lists are not the kind of thing that gets business owners excited, that is until something happens and the time comes to claim on your insurance.   When you’re filling out your claim form, you’ll probably remember the big things, computers, office equipment and the like, but what about the smaller items, which may be low cost but could also add up in value!

When something bad happens to your business, such as a fire, theft or malicious damage, the costs incurred could be significant. Consider how quickly you could claim if you didn’t have complete records?  Creating an inventory list will help consolidate records and manage your response to such an event, without relying on a foggy memory.

Waiting for a claim to be paid so that you can get your business running as per usual can be a stressful time, so you’ll want to speed up the process and eliminate the need of proving ownership, and a good way to get this done is by having an office inventory list.

Education Minister for South Australia Dr. Susan Close has announced that 457 visa workers earning a household income of more than $77,000 will have to start paying school fees of up to $6100 from next year, according to a report in The Daily Telegraph.

Now, the children of sc457 workers do not pay public school fees. The move brings South Australia into line with WA, NSW and the ACT.

According to the newspaper, for the first year, the new charge will only apply to people who arrive in SA from January 1, 2017. From January 2018 it will apply to all 457 visa holders living in the state, regardless of when they arrived.

Exactly what does a statistical analysis of a judge's decisions mean? 

Suppose you knew that a particular judge of the Federal Circuit Court had ruled in favour of the Department 99.21% of the time (in 252 out of 254 cases).

What conclusions would you be likely to make if you saw that your client's judicial review application was listed before that judge?
