The new points test is proposed to take effect from 1 July 2011, subject to passage of supporting legislation through the Parliament. It will apply to anyone lodging an application from 1 July 2011.
“The Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Chris Bowen MP, today announced a new points test to assess independent skilled migrants as part of the Gillard Government’s ongoing commitment to reforming the skilled migration program to deliver the skills Australia needs”.
announced! 怎么还没看到哪里发布呢!
还有我认为新的point test只会应用于明年7.1后的申请人。文中明确说了 It will apply to anyone lodging an application from 1 July 2011.
