The Albanese Government handed down their first federal budget last week.
As is the case with all budgets, this budget had winners and losers. Young families, disadvantaged students, home buyers and the environment are considered winners with this budget while motorists, welfare recipients and multinationals are considered not so lucky.

With a federal election looming, Prime Minister Scott Morrison and opposition leader, Anthony Albanese have hit the campaign trail. As is always the case, immigration is a hot election topic and will be of interest to many business owners who may be considering employing overseas workers. So, what do each of the parties have in mind when it comes to immigration?

Immigration Minister, Alex Hawke made headlines in January when he cancelled international tennis star, Novak Djokovic’s visa.

Parliamentary Inquiry into temporary migration is a lost opportunity and mostly a waste of time and resources.

Like businesses in any industry migration agencies come in all types and sizes. There are small business and owner/operators, small and medium sized enterprises (SME) and large corporate agencies.

There are many reasons why people choose to migrate to Australia. Among them is the uncertainty of major political changes in their own country.
Take for instance the current situation in Hong Kong. Over the last couple of weeks, protests have taken place in reaction to the proposed changes to the extradition law. While the riots in themselves pose a danger to the citizens of Hong Kong, there is also the potential ramifications of this policy being passed.
