For those waiting for permanent visas...
Just got my permanent ENS visa through which took less than 5 days! I am on the CSL list.
Hope this gives an indication of the MUCH faster processing times.
Good luck to others waiting.

Low risk country
ENS 121 visa
On CSL list as a secondary teacher
Applied via paper based method. (Brisbane office)
Paperwork arrived last Friday...approved this Friday
MUCH faster than I ever anticipated! No communication with them other than the approval e-mail this morning.
Looks like they really are prioritising according to the lists published. Even so, I had been expecting a few months wait.

On the other hand I have told them to put the ENS application on hold for a few weeks as I have someone checking the progress of my 175 and I might not require to go through ENS at all.
