I'm actually Canadian and haven't gotten any replies from my embassy yet. Was just curious what the Australian embassy has been telling people these days.
I suspect I may not get a reply until the announcement is made and the situation going forward is more clear.
No way to know for sure. The cabinet meets on tuesday and in the past they have made an announcement of their decision later in the day and then it was published to the gazette on the Wednesday.
other reports and statements from the ministry of foreign affairs spokesman, who has been a much more reliable source of information than immigration, have indicated that it will in fact be an extension of amnesty and will be until Sept 30th.
