"Asylum seekers in long-term detention will have to give up any future refugee claims and end all legal action before they are released into the community under a new visa to be created by the Federal Government. But while they will never be able to seek residency in Australia and will have to leave at short notice when asked, they will be given access to health and welfare benefits, including Medicare and income support, and education for their children."
