In the above article on Immigration I found this link to an article in the Sydney Morning Herald from Sep 2014:
\http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/scott-morrison-strikes-deal-with-clive-palmer-to-reintroduce-temporary-protection-visas-20140924-10lpui.html
It says in this article that Under the Safe Haven Enterprise Visa, asylum seekers who are found to be refugees would have to live and work in a regional area.
It says: ” . . . . the federal government will also introduce a new five-year visa – called the Safe Haven Enterprise Visa – that will allow asylum seekers to eventually apply for other onshore visas.”
Alex Reilly asks:
“However, how this visa will work remains unclear. Where will refugees be able to work? What support will they get to settle in regional areas? Will they require sponsors to work, or will they be free to enter the regional job market unrestricted, alongside working holidaymakers and international students?”
I have one question: Why does the government not explain to us how this visa is supposed to work?
Western governments have to keep people in the dark about their intentions and activities – otherwise they would be overthrown.
I cannot imagine that it would be too difficult for our government to convince voters of the benefits of resettling some of the approved asylum seekers in regional areas. Our regional areas do need people badly!
Instead of resettling people in regional areas our government spends huge amount of money in imprisoning people in detention centres for years on end!. I do not believe many voters would agree that this is the right way to go about it.
