Some sources at MIA conference said mid-point modelling of 189 revival saw 30k invites issued. This is double this year, which is approximately equial to this year's planning level.
An increase in around 15k invites is more than the sum of every state's 190 quota this year.
Is the 190 or 491 at risk of being extremely cut?

but in FY25-26 there were 7000+10000 189 invites, not 7000
what are you suggesting? that this is fake?
my concern is that if there is a genuine 10-15k increase in invites to 189, this essentially slashes 190 and 491 to near zero levels
my friend there were 189 round in this fy, aug 7000 invites and nov 10000 invites: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skillselect/invitation-rounds
I know that
so this year was 17k invites
the reports suggest up to 30k invites next FY
this means around a 10-13k increase in invites
so state allocations would surely suffer for 491 and 190?
