I know the current goverment(Liberal) position for the parent visa as I submitted submissions for the senate enquiry/annual visa plan, joined many petitions and sent latters to politicians related with 143 visa problem. I have been in Australia since 2012. I know Liberal government reduced total immigration from 2017( from 190000 to 160000) and change the parent visa system such as removing 410(retirement), announcing 870, reducing contributory parent visa annual quota in half based on the productivity report asked by Joe Hockey. However, It would be better to keep sending letters to politicians and contacting Media/Journalist to raise awareness rather than staying calming. What if labor or green wins in this federal election? What if senate enquiry make a good result for 143?

Hi, please don't give up...there are many actions are going on now such as sending letters to local MPs and federal senators. Would you please join the following action to raise 143 visa issue? Hi everyone. Hope you are all well. As a group, we are trying to raise the issue to the Media about the backlog of the 143 visa, and processing time that is out of control right now. With that in mind, we will present several of our stories and how that situation has been affecting us and putting us in a very difficult situation. The more stories we can get, the better it could be. If you could share your stories and send it to me by email to: visa143australia@gmail.com that would be great! For info, we will not publish your full name, but only first name and maybe first letter of the last name. Together we can achieve so much! Thanks everyone!

Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information. It is a great help for me to understand the current situation.

Thank you for sharing this link. I signed the petition and spread this link to my on/off network. So far, around 2300 people signed up. We need to get more people. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Applied 143 in Aug. 2017 Staying in Sydney with 870 visa while waiting 143 visa grant.
