Call to change 'archaic' partner visa rules amid pandemic

Couples are calling for Australia's offshore partner visa rules to be overhauled over concerns they are being forced to take return trips out of Australia amid the COVID-19 pandemic to have visas granted. Their push for change is being backed by Labor MP Julian Hill, who is set to introduce a bill to Parliament ((next week)) that would see migration laws be amended to address their grievances.
