dreamer_easyAustralia throws 9000 refugees a lifeline
"Thousands of refugees on temporary protection visas will be allowed to stay permanently in Australia, after federal cabinet agreed to a radical overhaul of the Government's asylum seeker rules yesterday... The dramatic softening of the temporary protection rules comes after intense lobbying from the backbench and from within cabinet."
