In recent days, parents emigration has once again become a hot topic of discussion among the vast number of Chinese. A law that came into effect on April 1 not only raised income requirements for financial guarantors, but also extended them to three years.

For example, single people guarantee parents two adults to apply for 143, the original income requirement is about A $44644, the current income requirement is A $88291.41. Not only this fiscal year to meet, the first two fiscal years to meet this standard.
In the case of husband and wife, without children, whether one person or two at the same time guarantee that both parents apply for 143, the total annual income should not be less than A $117721.88, compared with about A $59526 before.

The news added to the pressure on a large number of applicants, who launched an online petition calling on Australia's goverment to revise or even repeal the rule.
So far, the petition has been supported by more than 2500 people, and most of its supporters are Chinese. A lot of people say frankly, this kind of rule is very "unfair"!
Some netizens said: "too unfair!" This is a cruel rule for families who want to be reunited. It doesn't make sense that we pay goverment taxes and contribute to Australia in different ways! "
Another netizen said: "if we had known this was the case, we would not have applied, let alone pay the money." In order to bring our parents to Australia, we have made all kinds of long-term plans, some people have changed jobs and others have sold their houses. "
"this rule is inhumane. Why do we face so many rules and regulations when we are reunited with our families?"
"it's so unfair that goverment takes money first and then changes the policy!" We've done so much for this country, and politicians have to bully us. It's time to fight back! "
"this policy is ridiculous. It's time for the goverment to step down."
"crazy, goverment has no right to stop us from reuniting with our families."
"what a shock! Such a change was made without prior notice. "
"this policy is too ruthless, ridiculous, inhumane! Such a high income standard makes no sense; it must be abolished and Australia's multiculturalism destroyed. Please respect immigrants and our parents! "
Perhaps the Home Office has heard a lot of opposition, and Centrelink's website page now shows that the specific provisions of the reform bill may change.
