We'll see first if the budget survives and if so how this will affect the interminable delays in the current system.

Re: Government to "modernize" immigration system
The old: Government pledges <insert random dollar values> to fix <insert ongoing eternal systemic problem>. Repeat each budget/election etc. and always blame the last guy for the current situation and to explain why nothing ever changes.
