There are 4 categories of evidence that determine if a visa can be granted marriage is not one.
Being married waivers the 12 month length of relationship requirement (as does relationship registration) but all the 4 category evidence is still required.
You sure about that? A partner visa would seem to rely quite a lot on being married to an Australia and very little on anything else. A partner visa gives you working rights.
