澳大利亚内政部长对打工度假签证抽签计划松口：总人数不变，或调整名额分配方式
澳大利亚内政部长 Tony Burke 2026年11月13日表示，他对调整今年9月宣布的打工度假签证改革持开放态度。原改革拟要求 Subclass 417 与 462 打工度假签证持有人在申请第二年、第三年签证时参加抽签；旅游、酒店与农场雇主提出异议后，政府正与业界磋商。
Burke 强调，9月公布的签证总人数不变，来澳的英国背包客人数需要减少；可能调整的是名额的分配方式与改革的启动时间。抽签截至10月中旬尚未开始，修订安排预计在数周内公布。
同场记者会上，澳大利亚安全情报组织总干事 Mike Burgess 还表示，政府已接近敲定新的恐怖主义威胁等级体系，最早下周作出决定。（来源：澳大利亚内政部）
Australia's Home Affairs Minister Open to Adjusting Working Holiday Visa Ballot Plan
Australia's Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said on November 13, 2026, that he is open to adjusting the working holiday visa reforms announced in September. The reforms would require Subclass 417 and 462 working holiday makers to enter a ballot when applying for second- and third-year visas; after objections from tourism, hospitality and farm employers, the government is consulting with industry.
Burke stressed that the total visa numbers published in September will not change and that the number of British backpackers needs to come down; what may change is how places are allocated and when the reforms start. The ballot had not begun as of mid-October, and revised arrangements are expected within weeks.
At the same press conference, ASIO Director-General Mike Burgess also said the government is close to finalising a new terrorism threat-level system, with a decision possible as early as next week. (Source: Australian Department of Home Affairs)
