Liana Allan resignation from the management committee of Migration Alliance
Dear Migration Alliance Members
Thank you for the opportunity to serve you all on the board of Migration Alliance Inc.
I have decided to resign from the position of Secretary, immediately.
This is a difficult decision for me as I have dearly loved serving on the management committee of Migration Alliance since its inception.
It has been clear to me that it is best for me to step down, for the sake of mending the relationship with the Department.
I will continue to hold Migration Alliance in a special place in my heart, until my last breath.
Should you wish to contact me, I am available on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 0405188262.
Your Sincerely
Liana Allan
Founder - Migration Alliance

Best of luck Liana, whatever your personal reasons I am sorry you feel this is the only way out. Best of everything in the future which starts now. See you around.
Sharon is right, the department has never liked agents from day one, and never will, from the top down.

Very disappointed to hear Liana and I doubt you stepping down will achieve a better relationship with the Dept.
Sadly for those of us within this profession who recall the recognised "partnership" between the Dept and our profession, have been disappointed to witness its erosion in too many areas. And certainly not attributed to you Liana.· Noel Victor Comley likes this comment. -

Is this more evidence of the looking at it's blackshirts and living up to the image?

Hi Liana ,It was a sad news , however you should be proud of what you have done for the migration industry . One of the biggest achievement that you and Christopher made for non English speaking migration agents were to remove IELTS test for renewal of the registration. The original decision of OMARA was unfair. I believe you had a great positive influence on the whole industry since the Migration Alliance founded.
I think one of key focus of the Migration Alliance should be fighting for abolishing the unregistered migration practice in future. Migration Alliance started the campaign in some point of time in the past , however it has not been properly followed up . In my opinion , the majority of the migration agents / lawyers will support this campaign and I hope that the new team of management of the Migration Alliance fight for abolishing of the unregistered migration practice.
Thank you for your hard work· Noel Victor Comley likes this comment. -

Liana, thank you for your work and effort. The MA is an important voice for agents and your work in establishing and running the organisation has been tremendous. Not everyone might agree with everything that has been said and done and no doubt some things could have been done differently, but then again, no-one was ever going to agree with everything. What is important is that thanks to you and Christopher there is an alternative and feisty voice for agents in the community.
Whatever happened with the need to step down to “mend the relationship with the Department” then let’s not forget that one of the reasons you set the MA up was to extract some respect back from the Department. This last round of “failure to consult” over the POLITICALLY DRIVEN changes to the occupations lists and other changes typifies the general lack of respect for our professional work, clients, and livelihoods, and underlines the need for FEIST. Good luck with your “retirement” and thank you again for your work. -

Sorry to read this. I think that you should have stayed but it's your decision to make; at least I hope it was your decision.

Thanks Liana - your commentary has always been interesting, and don't forget what Confucius said - "Never close door behind you - you may need to go back through one day".
Best wishes for your future.
