Ministry Arrangements: Immigration Minister, David Coleman MP replaced by Alan Tudge MP
The Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs, the Hon. David Coleman has requested and been provided with leave of absence for personal reasons. Minister Coleman is an incredibly valued member of our team and has been doing an outstanding job. I look forward to him to returning to his Ministerial role when he is in a position to do so.
I have appointed the Hon. Alan Tudge to take on Mr Coleman’s ministerial responsibilities in an acting capacity effective immediately until such time as Mr Coleman is in a position to return. Mr Coleman will continue to perform his local responsibilities as Member for Banks. Mr Tudge has previous experience in this portfolio area in Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs and will continue with his current responsibilities as Minister for Population, Cities and Urban Infrastructure.
To assist Minister Tudge I have tasked the Member for Fairfax, Ted O’Brien to lead the Government’s negotiations in relation to the South East Queensland City Deal. This new responsibility will complement his existing role representing the Australian Government in relation to the 2032 South East Queensland Olympics and Paralympics.

Thursday, 19 December 2019Bureaucrats have always run this portfolio, at least for many years. That is why they keep changing ministers. It doesn't seem to matter much as there seems to be no publishable copy of a fixed, planned target for the future. It seems to change when the public opinion gets too noisy.

There has been some publicity about visa holders who were oicking blueberries being evacuated from Tumbarumba. Is anyone checking they are being supported and not penalised for interruption to their work arrangements

I have been waiting for a decision since long time and Mr Coleman has done nothing about it.
Maybe Mr Tudge will sort all cases out? I hope so. It is time for it. I totally agree my case is uncommon and it needs to be taken seriously, but I am not a criminal or terrorist. The whole situation is impacting on an Australian Citizen aged only 7 years with Autism. How that sounds?

Will we see ANY difference? Does the sitting Minister for Immigration really run his portfolio, remember that his boss Morrison used to be in that position so clearly continues to have an interest in the position responsibilities. Can you ever see a situation where the Minister for Immigration makes a decision that goes against the wishes/opinions of the PM? Is the Minister strong enough to do that, is the PM able to accept that, although he IS the PM he is NOT the minister for everything? My brain is tired now so I'll stop here.
