Thanks,

That means a lot

We're getting there. We're waiting on a couple of things to fall into place, but it's going to happen

We can get her here, then start work on the path to citizenship

It's going to take a little time, and some work, but she's worth it

Yeah my daughter and her boyfriend want to get married but there's really not a path for them to be able to live together. She can't work there, he can't work here. Any advice?

I wish I had some

It sounds like an incredibly difficult situation

I'd talk to an immigration agent before anything else

There's a lot of misinformation out there, and people ask social media sites rather than professionals

Yeah. People who've not been through it just don't realise what it's like.

For us it was quite uncertain that she'd get permanent residency. It's so bizarre to have a government department rule on such a huge part of your life and your future, and have no way to influence the outcome. It was stressful.

I kinda bear the emotional scars. Dutton was the Border Force Minister at the time we were going through that. God I hated him so bad and have done so ever since. I was so stoked last week to see that he will never be PM. Fuck you Dutt plug. I hope I never see your face again.

I genuinely enjoyed watching him fail

He looked lost and hurt, and I damned near got a stiffy

I'm an immigrant. I've contributed a huge amount to Australia, but my anger towards him wasn't on behalf of myself, but of the people he shat on purely because he likes to hurt people in order to feel strong

When a Queensland cop is hated by other Queensland cops, it's damning

Oh, and the blatant corruption. Somehow he's a multi-millionaire without anything fishy...
