Dr JAMES McDOWALL (ACT): Why has Residence from Work been put into the general residence processing queue when it should be a priority? And the reason I ask that is that Residence from Work is supposed to be a reward for having a particularly skilled job that can't easily be filled locally, and applicants have to wait two years to apply for residency anyway. Now that this category has stalled, their visas are expiring and they have to renew them. Residency through this route can take four years. It never used to be like this. My question to the Minister is: why has Residence from Work become such a mess, and what is he going to do about it?
