Good spot Linda ...

Best regards.

Still somewhat positive than what we thought earlier it was to be( just 1000).

What has the budget statement done to parent visas queues? I can’t find any hard facts for parent visa caps, but it’s not looking good.

They are increasing the family stream planning level to 77,300 places, including 72,300 within the Partner category. And then it would appear of the 5,000 remaining places, 4,000 are allocated to children. So only 1,000 places for parents…??? this can’t be right?

Joint Press release by minister of immigration regarding immigration and the 2020 budget.

They didn't talk about where they gonna allocate those 5000 visas explicitly 

Hi, 

I hope everyone is doing good and staying healthy. I've been stalking this forum for a while(very helpful and informative). And this article shows some highlights from today's presented 2020 budget and shows increase number of family visas upto 77k and as i recon it was around 44k last year.

Can someone confirm this info?

I'll appreciate your comments. Thank you.
