Australia’s immigration system is ‘complex’ and ‘slow’: O’NeilHome Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil says the country’s immigration system is “complex” and “slow” and “completely out of step” with Australia’s migration focus of “permanency, on citizenship, and on fair rights” no matter their origin. “Australia today has a problem we have always studiously avoided, and that is a large underclass of undocumented migrant workers who are living in our country today and are extremely vulnerable to exploitation,” Ms O’Neil told the National Press Club on Thursday. “That is not what a world-class migration system looks like.” Temp visa holders don't have access to Medicare, Centrelink & family reunions of non-economic family members & can be directed to the regions for skills shortages.

So much for the slow system. Many of the 1 million visas awaiting approval are for people already in Australia seeking to change status.
