IS this not the ultimate betrayal by the Morrison Government through its business innovation and investment visa programme?
Under these visas:
–Business Innovation Stream applicants can buy or start a business, and have $1.25M in either business or personal assets
–Investor stream, applicants have to be recommended by a state or territory agency and invest $2.5M on authorised investments
–Significant investor stream, applicants must invest $5M, with a minumum $1M in venture capital or private equity
In September 2016 in its final report the Productivity Commission called for these visas to be scrapped because they are channels for money laundering!

HOW can this be of any benefit to the Australian people and our Nation with more competition to buy our businesses from overseas with ‘black money’?
AND even more competition for a limited supply of housing, and inadequate infrastructure as these VISAS allow ‘Permanent Residency,’ and the benefits of parking ‘their family’ in Australia as they can continue to run their business in another country?
These families have access to our MEDICARE, and FREE EDUCATION as their business is predominantly overseas!
WT ****!
