2021年5月11日，备受关注的澳大利亚2021-22财年预算案正式出炉，此次预算案的核心重点在于保证澳大利亚人民，边境以及经济安全。同时，一个精心管理的移民计划，将有利于澳大利亚从COVID-19疫情中恢复过来，同时支持澳大利亚的经济复苏和持续繁荣。
The 2021-22 Budget focuses on ensuring that we keep Australians, our borders and our economy safe.
A secure Australia, along with a carefully managed migration program, will all support Australia’s economic recovery and ongoing prosperity as we continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
关于国家安全，澳政府将做出有史以来最大的长期投资之一，以应对复杂而动态的国家安全环境，并在未来十年内向澳大利亚安全情报局ASIO投入13亿澳元。
此外，澳政府还将向澳大利亚刑事情报委员会（ACIC）增加5180万澳元的资金，使其能够继续应对跨国，严重和有组织犯罪对澳大利亚构成的日益严重的威胁。
The Government will make one of the biggest long-term investments ever to address a complex and dynamic national security environment, with a $1.3 billion boost to the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) over the next decade.
The Government will also boost funding to the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) by $51.8 million to enable it to continue to combat the ever-growing threat that transnational, serious and organised crime poses to Australia.
针对大家关心的边境开放问题，澳大利亚可能要于2022年中期或下半年才会完全重新开放边境。同时，澳大利亚2021-22年预算案中拨款770万澳元，以维持澳大利亚边境部队的航空联络计划，该计划将维持我们在国际机场的海外边境部队人员网络。
By identifying threats posed by travellers to Australia, we can disrupt those threats before they even reach our border. Therefore, the 2021-22 Budget allocates $7.7 million to maintain the Australian Border Force’s Airline Liaison Program, which will maintain our overseas network of Border Force officers in international airports.
移民群体备受关注的澳大利亚2021-22年移民配额情况，也在这次预算案出台时有了大概的轮廓。
为了促进澳大利亚的经济复苏，2021-22年移民配额仍将维持在160,000个位置，其中包括技术类79,600个和家庭类77,300个。为了确保澳大利亚仍然是世界上最慷慨的人道主义安置国之一，人道主义类别将在2021-22年拥有13750个名额。
由于COVID-19大流行，酒店和旅游业遭受了严重的负面影响，特别是考虑该行业在其历史上主要依靠临时签证持有人来支持。政府将为学生签证持有人增加灵活性，使其在酒店和旅游业中每两周可以超过40小时的工作时间。这是基于现有的灵活安排，使学生签证持有人可以在关键部门工作。
对于持有870担保父母（临时）签证的个人，因COVID-19出行限制而无法使用签证的，政府还将签证的有效期延长18个月。
政府将通过为行政上诉法庭移民与难民分庭的进一步最终裁决提供资金，并在2021-22年在联邦巡回法院增加一名法官，并在2022-23年提供第二名法官，来加强移民诉讼和案情审查进度。
To facilitate Australia’s economic recovery, the 2021-22 Migration Program ceiling will be maintained at 160,000 places – which includes 79,600 Skill and 77,300 Family stream places. To ensure Australia remains one of the most generous humanitarian resettlement countries in the world, the Humanitarian Program will have 13,750 places in 2021-22 and maintain our long-term commitment to humanitarian resettlement.
The hospitality and tourism sector has suffered serious negative impacts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly given its historic reliance on temporary visa holders to support the sector. The Government will increase flexibility for student visa holders to work beyond the current 40 hour per fortnight limit in the hospitality and tourism sectors. This builds on the existing flexibility arrangements for student visa holders to work in critical sectors as part of the COVID-19 response.
The Government will also extend the validity period for Sponsored Parent (Temporary) visas by 18 months for individuals who are unable to use their visas due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.
The Government will enhance migration litigation and merits review by funding additional finalisations in the Migration and Refugee Division of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal and providing an additional judge in the Federal Circuit Court in 2021-22, and a second judge in 2022-23.
