标题：Is The Australian Minister of Immigration About to Quit His Post?

内容：Sources close to the office of Chris Evans, the Minister for Immigration in Australia, have revealed that Mr Evans may quit his post this year.

Regardless of which government finally gains power, Mr Evans is said to be considering his options and may be looking to move to another portfolio. He is said to have been wanting to get out for some time now.
Christopher McGrath from McGrath Migration told the Embrace Community: “I think Labour has been awakened from its slumber, so maybe we can expect changes to enhance the migration programme. A new Minister, maybe with new ideas.”

A source close to Chris Evans’ own office spoke with Mr McGrath to confirm that Mr Evans will step down no matter which government gets in. There are also unconfirmed rumours that Andrew Metcalfe, Secretary to the DIAC may also be moved.

This news should not affect any applications for Australian visas, which will be processed as usual, but it does give hope to the thousands of migrants who are following the election closely to see how the new government will treat their cases.

Lately the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) have been criticised by major Australian businesses for tightening their policies on migration. Coca Cola, Virgin boss Richard Branson, union leader Paul Howes, leading recruitment agencies, the IT industry and mining companies have all called upon the government to take in more migrants, not less.

They say that without temporary migrant workers, Australia becomes less viable for investors, many projects would be put on hold or shelved and the economy would suffer as a result. Some claim that the government are using migrants and refugees as a cover for their own failures to provide adequate infrastructure for Australia.

Perhaps Australia really is waking up and the departure of Chris Evans could signal a change for the better. A new Minister with fresh ideas is just want the immigration department of Australia needs!

短期内移民收缩的趋势应不会变，不论哪个党执政，哪个人当移民部长，所以对于符合条件尤其是在G3以内的申请人，短期内更倾向希望包括部长人选在内的移民政策不要有明显变化：no news is good news!
