I have confirmed from couple of migration agents and they have informed me that there is nothing related to Investment issue coming out on 09th August.

Are we still sending the delegation to Immigration office/Immigration minister. We'll have to push them for a decision as they are trying their best to drag this issue.

I support KenWen and other who is ready with delegation. All senior member of this forum have tried many thing in last 9 month but no one has tried to send delegation so far. I think delegation will put pressure straight on to minister.

Re: 5 points for Investement Bond withdrawn Sept 07??
 

"delegation" the only way to push them up

Re: 5 points for Investement Bond withdrawn Sept 07??
 

I guess mainly because most of us 'senior members' are not in Australia.

Re: 5 points for Investement Bond withdrawn Sept 07??
 

BUT WE ARE ,,,,AT LEAST HALF OF US IN OZ

Re: 5 points for Investement Bond withdrawn Sept 07??
 

Australian forum members should contact George to get the ball moving and to agree a date when these meetings will happen.........we need less talkling/posting and more organisation now.

Re: 5 points for Investement Bond withdrawn Sept 07??
 

A lot of the newer members seem to be in Australia, so if they can do anything locally all the better.

When we were taking action earlier in the year, most of the members (who I guess are 'senior members' now) were from the UK when it came to putting names to paper.

Re: 5 points for Investement Bond withdrawn Sept 07??
 

Yes, most of us in the FORUM are from the UK, but we are from Germany and France too (me and my friends and spouse...., maybe we are a small number (please correct me if it is not true) but we are as eager as our friends from the UK!
So let's work on the same goal together!

Re: 5 points for Investement Bond withdrawn Sept 07??
 

I remembered there was someone from Germany but couldn't remember who it was :thumbup:

It would be a bit hard and costly to be part of a delegation if you were not in Australia already. So let's hope something can be put together by those already there.

Have any of those in Australia PM'd George to see if a delegation could be put together?

Re: 5 points for Investement Bond withdrawn Sept 07??
 

What is needed now is for those in Australia to contact George and group together to decide a sensible, respectful and diplomatic approach. However someone needs to represent ALL offshore applicants (including all our friends who have ever posted on this forum and beyond) perhaps the petition on gopetition could be presented on our behalf? Please lets get things moving all onshore applicants.:thumbup:

While I trust DIAC are looking into this, with so many lives affected we need to ensure this problem is given the priority it deserves, currently it feels like we are right at the bottom of someones 'to-do list' . It is also important to convey to the department that we are real people with faces and lives still on hold because of this delay.

Hi geelong

I am from Germany :). I was one the first posters on this thread.

I support the idea of sending a delegation on our behalf for meeting Senator Evans. I think the guys who are already in Australia are better qualified, and should speak for all of us. What we need is action not words.

To all posters who are in Australia,

Please PM George, and plan with him before meeting Senator Evans. The meeting is a good idea, and it will help us resolve this problem.

And don't forget us South Africans down here in Durban! There are two of us on this thread plus our husbands and children.

Hi George/Joannec,

I'm one of the investment bond victim who closely monitored this thread for the last 4 months. I'm living in Wollongong in Oz at the moment and am very keen in joining the delegation to the minister. Please advise me of any proposed plan or date regarding this.

Cheers
Mick
