Share on Twitter The Greens are pushing for a Senate inquiry into the processing of family reunion visas over concerns the system is being plagued by lengthy waiting periods and exorbitant costs. SBS News understands the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee has agreed to the inquiry that would be put to a vote in the Senate next week. Deputy Greens leader Nick McKim had earlier called for the inquiry, which would have a particular focus on partner and parents visas. His push for an overhaul of the family visa system comes as Australia’s migration program has been rocked by the coronavirus pandemic.
