Hi guys, I am currently awaiting for my 189 visa grant which I lodged offshore last March2,2020. I currently have a visitor visa as well which expires on June2020. I will be needing to fly to Australia on November2020 to visit an important person in my life. Just want to ask, what will be the implications if I apply for another tourist visa?

In the scenario wherein my 189 is granted and then my tourist visa gets granted second, will my 189 get cancelled? Is it risky to apply for another tourist visa while waiting for a 189 grant? Is it doable? Thanks in advance for the advise!

In case you apply for another visitor visa, if your 189 visa is granted you should quickly withdraw your visitor visa application because its grant will override the 189.

Is this really true? Thats soo hard to comprehend that a temporary visitor visa will override a PR just cos the visitor visa was granted, say a few days later.

Unfortunately it is true as they both are substantive visas (although with very different weight!)
