Hi everyone
What are ur thoughts on lack of support for parents.We don't want benefits for them but at least give them 5 year visa with 1 year stay per visit.At the moment as per THE AGE article
" The parent visa changes are even more extreme. The only option now for migrants wishing to bring their parents to Australia is the "contributory parent" visa – at a cost of $47,120, plus a bond of $10,000 to cover any welfare payments made over a 10-year period. The total is $105,905 to bring two parents to Australia."
Looks like only rich can be with their family now.Is there a way to get long visa for parents without paying such a huge fee.may be we should approach government to provide realistic parent visa options for every migrant
