Small businesses are facing tough times and the department of immigration is making it harder for them to survive. Many in the industry are saying, DIBP has a policy that discriminates against applications especially by small businesses for hiring foreign workers under the sc457 program.

What is it the purpose of the CSOL which after consultation and consideration at various levels of government and the community has determined essential skills required by Australian companies right now when a DIBP case-officer, despite being presented with a company’s submissions about the realities of its commerce and skills needs, are allowed to make ‘subjective decisions’ about whether the company needs those skills? Are case-officers trained management consultants?

What again is the purpose of the TSMIT which many say already sets an unreasonably high minimum salary rate of $53,900 for foreign workers, when case officers can judge - against the face of market research provided by applicants - that the wages paid to foreigners above this level, are still inadequate?

Thousands of civil servants are expected to join the strike action from 21 March 2016 unless the Government engaged in genuine talks to end the row over pay and conditions, notes a report in the ABC.

"We've been trying to resolve this for months and we're calling on Prime Minister Turnbull to give us someone to sit down and talk to…He has nearly three weeks to avoid this strike action, but we seriously think it could be resolved in three days if they're willing to talk about fixing this mess." Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU)  secretary Nadine Flood said.

Applicants are presenting these statistics to show that those seeking a judicial review of migration decisions had virtually no chance of succeeding in Judge Street's court.

Barrister Jay Williams has told the chief justice, James Allsop, Justice John Griffiths and Justice Susan Kenny there was “a one in 10 chance before other judges and a 1 in 100 chance before this judge” of having an immigration ruling overturned, according to a report in The Guardian
