Hi Does anyone have anymore news on the changes in the citizenship rules?

Are they definately changing on July 1st ?

Has there been anymore info from the Oz Gov on what they class as a Permenant Resident ?
ie; Granted PR visa/validated PR visa/actually resident in Oz ??

Have just found out that Uni students cant get help with fees (hecs/student loans) until they become citizens.
My eldest want to study Vetenary Science and it is a 5 yr course so paying all his fees every year is going to be a big strain on our budget.

If we/he can get citizenship after 2 yrs this will help enormously, and he can pay the last 3 yrs himself when he's earning !!

Thanks Sam x
