'Family reunion is really important to Australians of migrant background. It enhances settlement, it improves social cohesion' said Emma Campbell (FECCA).


The Turnbull government will reverse a controversial regulation that effectively doubled the income requirement for people trying to bring their parents to Australia. It follows weeks of mounting anger from migrant communities and will completely reverse the changes, just a month after they were introduced by Social Services Minister, Dan Tehan.
