Calls to end 'unfair' treatment of onshore visa applicants as government seeks to increase immigration of skilled workers
The federal government has followed through on a promise to fast-track visas for workers coming to Australia from overseas, but many migrants already in the country who remain on temporary visas are furious.
More than 3,000 people had signed an online petition by Thursday calling on the Department of Home Affairs to give equal priority to overseas and onshore applicants.
Meanwhile, experts warn the policy is undermining faith in the system.
On October 6 the government issued more than 12,500 invitations for skilled independent 189 visas, targeting engineering, healthcare and education occupations.
