Motion to re-allow parent visas?
Breaking news just in from DIBP at 6:14pm:
"The disallowance motion in the Senate was scheduled for consideration on 2 September but Senator Hanson-Young has postponed it until 24 September. The Parent and Other Family visas remain closed and it is not possible to make an application for these visas. If the disallowance motion is successful then the visas will reopen from that date only. The disallowance motion in the House of Representatives on 15 July was defeated by the Government.
