We, the undersigned, call on the Australian Minister for Immigration and Citizenship Chris Evans, and the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship to please bring to a timely conclusion, the situation where (as widely reported) many thousands of people have been left in 'limbo' by the sudden removal of the option to invest A$100,000 as part of a Australian permanent visa application.

We understand that a solution must be all-inclusive for the many different personal situations and therefore almost certainly more complicated than we are aware. But the lack of any useful feedback regarding progress in this matter, and indeed any noticeable action, is proving intolerable by those in ‘limbo’.

We feel consideration must be given to what the prolonged continuation of this current situation is doing to the lives of the innocent people, effected by the actions of a few, and the apparent inaction of the relative authorities involved.
