根据政府最新的预算案，移民部政策有一些相当重大的变化，主要是：
1。2009-2010年度的技术移民名额降为108，000（20%降幅)
2。境内技术移民申请将会被要求工作准备
3。2009年7月1号起境外技术工人的英语要求提高到雅思6分
4。2010年1月1号起境内技术工人的英语要求提高到雅思6分
5。技术工人移民将会减少
6。增加家庭类移民到60，300，其中配偶类多了2500，付钱类父母多了1000名，子女类多了300
7。移民局裁员
分析：对现在正在念 certificate 4 或者 diploma 或者 advanced diploma 的学生来说，真是晴天霹雳。如果今年能毕业，还能赶得上。尤其对我们亚洲的学生，简直就是一个排华/排亚的政策。技术类移民等待时间也会越来越长。总而言之，还是符合工党的政策，重视家庭和难民，轻视技术。
英文原文如下：
