Under the temporary protection visas promised by the Coalition

Scott Morrison says his decision to leave asylum seekers already in Australia on indefinite bridging visas without work rights will leave them worse off but was necessary to get around parliament's refusal to reintroduce Howard era-style temporary protection visas."We have shut the permanent protection visa shop," the immigration minister told a Canberra press conference."The door has been sealed shut … the prime minister and I made it clear that under no circumstances will this government provide permanent protection visas to people who arrive illegally by boat. You must be consistent when it comes to border protection."The practice of the previous government was to keep that shop open."Morrison confirmed he had issued a legislative instrument to cap permanent protection visas for this financial year at the number already issued, and said he would also stop any more of the asylum seekers already in Australia having their claims processed.

Under the temporary protection visas promised by the Coalition apply for china visa in houston– but disallowed this week by Labor and the Greens in the Senate – asylum seekers would receive full unemployment benefits under requirements that they take part in work-for-the-dole style programs, and would be allowed to seek paid employment.Under the bridging visas introduced by the former Labor government, which will now be continued indefinitely for all asylum seekers in Australia, they receive 89% of the dole and are not allowed to seek work. Under the Coalition, work-for-the-dole will also apply.Morrison said this meant the tactics of Labor and the Greens would save the government money,china tourist visa application form because few of the asylum seekers would gain work and the benefits available under bridging visas were cheaper.

The explanatory memorandum published late on Tuesday night with the ministerial decision say: "The instrument is exempt from disallowance and therefore a human rights statement of compatibility is not required."Morrison said the government was "well advanced" in implementing his pre-election promise to introduce "behavioural protocols" for asylum seekers on bridging visas, and had been liaising with state police so they knew where the asylum seekers were living.
