Dilemma 2:Paolo is a citizen of Venezuela who came to Australia on a student (Class TU) subclass 500 visa. Since being in Australia, the situation in his home country has deteriorated, and he tells you that he no longer feels safe returning when he finishes his studies. He explains that he is opposed to the Venezuelan government and is being targeted by its supporters. He requests immigration assistance from you, to apply for a protection (Class XA) subclass 866 visa. You have provided him detailed advice about his eligibility.

Shortly after meeting with Paolo, you are visited by Silvio de Silva, another Venezuelan student in Australia. He tells you that Paolo is involved with an organised group who are exploiting the political situation in Venezuela so they can remain in Australia to work. He tells you that Paolo has paid $15,000 to middlemen who will develop an on-line profile for him, so he appears to be politically active and opposed to the Venezuelan government.In accordance with the methodology for acting ethicallyand the Migration Agents Code of Conductshould you:

1. Proceed with providing immigration assistance to Paolo?
2. Inform the Department of Home Affairs about what Silvio has told you?
