An Iranian Mother's Struggle in Obtaining Permanent Visas
Upon his election into Parliament, Anthony Albanese inherited the unresolved status of thousands of asylum seekers and refugees whose claims for protection were rejected by the fast-track processing system created under the Abbott Government in 2014.
The system, which was meant to "fast-track" applications for refugee status and permanent visas, has ended with thousands of people living in limbo for the past decade. Fearful, that they will be forced to return back to their homeland.
Continuing on from 4ZZZ Journalist PJ's story on the protests in Logan, I spoke to Naz, a 42-year-old Iranian single mother, to hear more about her 14-year long struggle in obtaining permanent visas for herself and her three children. We also touched on her concerns for the future following Labour's announcements of budget cuts to asylum seeker assistance and immigration intake.
