Amid rising anti-immigrant sentiments in Australia and significant visa fee increases—some doubling or tripling since July 1—the effects are especially felt by international students, permanent residents renewing their Resident Return Visas (RRV), and citizens, including the Nepali community trying to bring elderly parents to Australia, SBS Nepali sat down with the Federal Minister for Home Affairs, Immigration and Citizenship, Cyber Security, and the Arts. In the first part of our exclusive one-on-one with Minister Burke, he expressed his desire to see continued, greater progress for the Nepali-speaking community in Australia.
