In this week’s edition, we first have an article by ABC. Recently in the news, there has been a lot of stories relating to the deportation or refusal of applicants with health issues. A Victorian family had their initial application for permanent residency denied, as their son had cystic fibrosis. Their son was considered to be a ‘burden’ on the Australian healthcare system. However, recently the family had their permanent residency granted.
Then there is the story by SBS about the struggles of a man who is living in Australia illegally. He originally came to Australia on a valid visa. However, he had overstayed his visa and now an ‘unlawful citizen’. Unfortunately, he has spent a few nights on the river bank.
These are just a few stories we have found for you. We have many more stories for you to read below.
