Business Rapport between Australia and France

Australia's first ever Parliamentary Inquiry into Australian Expats

Around 350 Australians overseas have already made individual submissions to
Australia's first ever Parliamentary Inquiry into Australian Expats.

Don't think that no one will be interested in your expat or repat story - the Senate's Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs needs to hear from you if this Inquiry is going to be successful and truly representative of Australia's one-million strong diaspora. You don't have to be a brain surgeon or great wordsmith to take part - if you can write an e-mail then you can write a submission.

Read some of the early submissions on the Senate Committee's website.
