Almost half of Australia's new migrants could be forced to settle in regional areas each year under a radical plan to ease the nation's skills shortage.

Struggling to find short-term solutions for the nation's skills crisis, the Rudd Government looks set to use migrants to help dying regional centres and townships unable to find workers.

If as reported the Rudd Goverment is drawing up proposals for their policy in respect of skilled migrants to be put before the Cabinet in April, is it reasonable to assume they are also reviewing all categories of migrants - Including our stalled 'Contributory Parents Visas'?
We are way down the list - our acknowledgement October 2007.

Yes, quite possible.

The general principle though is that new Regulations and policy do not affect visa applications already submitted.

Best regards.
