That's scary! that means you have to withdraw your 482 application as soon as your 186 is granted.
Immigration only allow one main visa to be active, so they always override an old visa with a new grant.

It is something to be very wary about when applying for 2 or more visas.

So it looks like they've focused all their efforts on the 189 visa! It's been slashed from 36 months for 75% of applicants to 68 days! Maybe the 186 will be given some focus seen as they've sorted out the processing times on the 189?!

It may be so. But the decision does make no sense to me because 189 must come and find a job, whereas 186 employers are sponsored and all already have jobs.
 
Currently 482 visas are being processed with top priority : To fill the labour shortages.

Also govt is focussing to bring more people to onshore to cater the skilled labour shortages.

I believe 186 visa might take longer time, cant predict until we analyse the next set of disclosure logs.
