Unfortunately we have a Government in total denial, and also an opposition the same way. They both are perusing their own political agendas, Julia determined not to be beaten. Like Serina Williams yesterday in NY, she can’t see how wrong she…

The High Court hearing on sending boat people to Malaysia contiued today. The Minister lodged a sworn statement to the court over the weekend. It is likelly he will be called to be cross-examined on his statement. Wish I was…
Christopher McGrath replied to GilP's discussion 'Cap & Cease'
I agree with Gill, but have to say who knows with the current Minister. The last cap and kill (as we call it) was totally unexpected and of course totally wrong especially for an organisation whose motto is "People our Business". I do…

Christopher McGrath replied to guljinder's discussion 'status of any appeal against in court for capp and ceased 2007 applicantion'
You are correct Gill in that Anna has received great press, her PR machine worked overtime, two disasters in the space of a month. She desperatelly needed that as the preception is that she is not popular, selling off public assets for a short term…
Christopher McGrath replied to guljinder's discussion 'status of any appeal against in court for capp and ceased 2007 applicantion'
You should contact Christopher Livingstone as he is the lawyer moving this appeal. He is a very experienced court immigration lawyer and will present very strong arguement.
PS, I am not connected with Christopher, but I highly recommend…
Christopher McGrath replied to Sydney0214's discussion 'When medical check has been finalised...'
Im not exctelly sure what question you are asking. If you are asking if your family members can be granted the visa once they meet health and character, but your hasent been finalised yet, the answer is no. The granting of the visas to all the…

Hi Paul
I asked because I could not find you in the MARA therefore knew you are not registered. You found me there, so why ask if I am registered? Most of the people who make comment here are not RMAs, in fact many are not Australians, and…

Hi Paul
Are you a registered agent? Of course i know that you are not, so what is your expert experience that you are using to give advice against?
Cheers
Chris.

Hi Jill
I have been away for the last 16 days or so, so unable to answer immediately but I see that Susan has and I agree with her comments. I looked at my crystal ball but the battery was dead so I could not readily answer in any case.
