Sex not Specified....Will this be the new tick box on application forms at the DIBP, MRT-RRT, AAT and other institutions requiring a person to name their what they are, including 'neuter'?

How is this going to impact on a partner visa application?  If the person doesn't need to identify if they are male or female and two neuters 'sex not specified' get married or claim a de facto relationship then what?  How will the DIBP assess that? 

I'm thinking that the DIBP no longer have a right to force a visa applicant to declare whether they are male or female for the purpose of a partner visa application if the applicant would prefer to be known as a neuter or sex not specified.

This landmark decision has been handed down and reported in the Sydney Morning Herald:

Australia’s no1 immigration site has partnered with World First, leaders in the field of Foreign Exchange.

World First Foreign Exchange offer International money transfer services to individuals and families moving overseas.

We understand the that moving can be a big undertaking, but working with companies like Migration Alliance and World First can take a lot of the stress out of the big move. World First can help with all your currency requirements we send money to virtually every country in the World.

After losing faith in the ability of the authorities to deal with Radovan Laski, a group of Indian students launched legal cases in Victorian courts to recoup tens of thousands of dollars from him.

The Sydney Morning Herald reports that Mr Radovan Laski may have, “reaped $4 million by convincing up to 100 Indians to hand over up to $40,000 after promising to help them get a 187 visa, which allows a skilled worker to get permanent residency if they are sponsored by a regional employer.”

But Mr Laski failed to find many of the workers the promised jobs and sponsorship. Some of the overseas workers allegedly duped by Mr Laski were promised jobs in skilled working environments but ended up being sent to work in regional abattoirs.

It is reported that Federal police and immigration department officials have now raided the offices of the alleged ringleader of a long-running migration and education racket that exploited dozens of overseas students and workers.

“Police are investigating Radovan Laski and his network of associates - including a former senior Immigration Department official - after they allegedly duped the students and workers into paying up to $40,000 after being falsely promised Australian residency or working visas” says the report

The MRT-RRT Communications team has been tasked with developing video content for the tribunals’ website to assist applicants and their representatives to better understand tribunal processes.

As part of the process, the MRT-RRT will be conducting a consultation session with external stakeholders. The consultation session will ensure the video covers relevant content with key messages communicated effectively. 

Ideally, the MRT-RRT would like at least three migration agents from Migration Alliance to help form the external stakeholder group.    Migration Alliance can nominate three migration agents who are willing to participate in the external stakeholder consultation sessions.

The Joint Standing Committee on Migration has commenced an inquiry into the Business Innovation and Investment Programme.  Migration Alliance received an invitation to participate and inform other organisations, groups and individuals. Please find below a copy of the letter we have received:
