10 years in limbo: The 12,000 refugees still waiting for residency

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.

That’s because they were processed and refused under the previous Coalition Government’s controversial “fast-track” process - criticised as a rubber stamping machine for refusals. 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.

You'll hear from sixteen-year-old Iranian refugee Tanya, as they begin a week-long sit-down protest in Melbourne, calling for change.
