In this headlines-free extra episode of the Briefing: Meet the 12,000 people on temporary protection visas who are blocked from the government’s new pathway to permanent residency.

But here’s the thing: all have been in Australia for over 10 years. They have families, communities, roots and children born here who’ve become citizens.
