@hcj21212 20H ago

guys i need help. im taking this matter to media. 1. how 190 grants are given to people who logged applications 2-3 months ago . while other 190 users (even priority ones are waiting from 15-18 months because they are offshore). 2. how 190 recent grants from onshore help labor win elections, because this applications help labor get extra votes ,because these applications complete residency requirements for citizenship in one year, because they already completed 4 years residency on other visas such as 485 graduate visa, student visa ,etc. 3. please help with proofs of visa grants, so we can raise this issue, and help other people waiting from 20-28 months get chances at visas. because visas fees are non refundable . we are being deceived by this * labor government.
491 applicants are fooled. 4. when 491 was introduced under liberal-national coalition government in 2019. processing time was only around few days to 1-2 months. but now.... oh yeah labor albo dont give a *** to 491 , because they are useless to them.

please help. any help is appreciated.

It is not only for offshore applicants. I am onshore and priority application and have been waiting for more than 15 months. It is very frustrating.

@xyz0900 11H ago

Donot agree with the point that they are doing it to get extra votes as I am waiting for 16 months priority onshore

@xyz0900 11H ago

But it is very frustrating specially seeing someone getting grant within 6 days

@hcj21212 8H ago

because you are not close to completing residency requirement. anyways if anyone inc. @biotechy @gregormendel can help with visa grants screenshots of recent onshore will be highly appreciated

@xyz0900 7H ago

I have 5 years of residency

@hcj21212 6H ago

@xyz0900 then why are u waiting from last 16 months... because you are old enough to have a look at. they need fresh votes. they need new people. new people= faster grants= new favorability for albo. bcos they received grants in few months.. they are happy !! people are happy! they received grants in few days to few months.. you are already frustrated, you wont vote for albo again . i bet it

@hcj21212 6H ago

@xyz0900 where are you from.

@hcj21212 6H ago

@gregormendel knows better, having run this site for the past 10 years. I'm sure he understands the issue. The least he can do is help bring it to people's attention.

@hcj21212 6H ago

@xyz0900 Roy Morgan's survey of Indian-born Australian electors found that 45% supported Labor, compared with 39% for the Coalition. However, this was a survey of voting intentions across July 2023 to June 2025, not a count of actual votes cast for Labor in the 2025 election. anddd Before the 2022 election, Indian-origin registered voters were more inclined towards Labor than the general population surveyed at the time: 40% intended to vote Labor, compared with 34% of the general population
