The collapse of Migration Advisors 4 Corners

Go Matilda is sorry to learn of the recent collapse of UK based Australian migration advisors 4 Corners, and is ready to assist affected individuals.

We understand that individuals who had instructed 4 Corners in the UK are being invited to instruct another firm, with several client files now retained in New Zealand.

Go Matilda will be pleased to discuss application status and strategy with affected individuals, and will be sympathetic in proposing fees.

If instructed, we are also able to take delivery of client files at our offices in Australia, so that client matters can be progressed quickly.

If you are affected by the collapse of 4 Corners and would like to discuss your visa application, how Go Matilda might help, and our fees, please contact us.

Budget verdict – single mother

Sarah MacPherson, Melville

Sarah has a 19-year-old daughter living at home, and is in the process of starting up a technology-based business.                
 
What Sarah wanted:
Measures to help vulnerable in society, such as pensioners, carers and single parents;
. Increased taxes on cigarettes and alcopops;
. Stimulus packages for small startup companies;
. Maintenance of the First Homeowners Grant boost;
. Investment in education;
. Dumping of the GST charged on sanitary products.
 What she got:
. Increased pensions – by $32.49 for singles and $10.14 per couple.
. The pension age lifted to 67 between years 2017 and 2023.
. First Homeowners Grant boost to remain until September 2009, but to be halved after that.
. Opening up university places for additional 50,000 students over four years from next financial year.
. $437 million over four years to boost number of disadvantaged students at university.
. A 50 per cent small business tax break for eligible capital expenditure.
Her verdict:
“I suppose the first word that came to mind was ‘predictable’,” Sarah said.
 
“The rise in pension age means many of the battlers will have to battle a little longer.
 
“But if you look at the current global economy, they probably haven’t done too badly – they can’t please everybody”
