大家都知道，现在的移民新政策正在讨论中。这个政策是关系到我们大家利益的重要政策，但是政策尚未确定，正在征集意见的过程中，请看下文：<br />
<br />
Consultation Process<br />
This Discussion Paper has been developed on the basis of initial discussions with key Commonwealth, State and Territory Government, industry and union stakeholders. It is now being provided for broader public comment.<br />
<br />
The Department of Immigration and Citizenship is required to report to Government on the outcomes of this Review in May 2010. It is expected that any decisions of Government concerning the future of the Points Test in the GSM program will be implemented as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
Please submit your suggestions or comments to the Assistant Secretary, Labour Market Branch at [email protected] by 12 March 2010.<br />

我之所以发这个贴子，是想鼓励大家意识到自己的民主权利，并表达自己的意见。在这个政策制定的过程中，其实我们每个人都能起到作用。也许我们常年的习惯让我们更愿意旁观，但是如果我们仅仅是旁观和等待，我们自身的权益（尤其是中国人这个独特群体的权益）就无法得到维护。<br />
<br />
我在澳洲的政府工作（不是移民局），在我的审批工作中，也有一个环节叫做Consultation process。我们会在网站上公布一个意见征集时间，在这段时间里，所有的利益相关人都可以自由的表达他们的意见。在我工作的法律制度下，每一个的意见都会得到考虑，我们的评审报告中要将每个人的意见归纳，并且给出comments on how the issues raised during public consultation have been considered in the decision making process。<br />
<br />
在我阅读和评审澳洲人的意见时，常常感叹他们的民主意识和参与意识。很多人都会花大量的时间搜集证据和信息，并且详尽的阐述自己的观点和建议。有一些特别好的建议，是我们这些所谓的专业人士都没有考虑到的。还有一些建议，给递交报告的申请方施加了一定的压力。<br />
<br />
<strong>所以，我在此特别呼吁localau的筒子们，花一些时间参与这个新政策的制定，让我们中国人自身的利益得到尊重和考虑。就当练习一篇雅思作文吧！</strong>
I think it should be ok to just express your own opinion on your own interest. The government has the responsibility to understand what perople from other culturual background are thinking
