No news bro. It looks like they have exhausted the quota for this financial year. Let’s hope from July they will go full throttle on clearing the backlog.
As of Feb-2022 they filled 70k seats. In 3 months may be another 40-50k seats. I think there could be still 20-30k seats left bro. For 189 there must be 1000-1500 seats still available. Its just a week since new minister came. Lets hope for some movement later this month.

Congratulations!! Were you stuck offshore on bvb as well?
Yes. I was bro.
Congratulations bro. Hope life goes easy on you now. As soon as you enter Australia you can apply for replacement bva visa from your immi account. If you want any help regarding explanation for applying bva you can ask me anytime.

Same. 3 years, 3 Months Stay. 12/18 Months Max Stay.
I guess all BV holders are issued the same visitor visa
Alright bro. Your bva will become active once your max stay period ends. So it’s better if you travel early. 
Also as soon as you reach onshore apply for a afp police check as well just to avoid more co contacts.
