Asylum seeker processing wait time blows out to two years | CroweDM
after more than 95,000 arrivals over the past five years.
Waiting times vary according to the class of visa being sought but the official AAT figures show a bigger backlog and longer delays across most classes."When timeframes push out, one of the issues is that it can create an opportunity for the program to be misused," said Migration Council of Australia chief Carla Wilshire.
The Morrison government blamed the trend on a significant increase in visa refusals under its tougher border protection policies. These people are working in exploited conditions on farms, in hospitality, sometimes in sexual servitude."Our vetting processes are much stronger than those in place under Labor and have seen a substantial increase in the number of visas being refused. We make no apologies for this," said Immigration Minister David Coleman.

Immigration minister defends govt record on asylum seekers | Sky News AustraliaThe immigration minister has defended the government’s record on asylum seekers and dismissed Labor’s recent attack as a “pretty significant own goal”. \n\nFigures released to Labor through questions on notice revealed 4,037 people flew to Australia and sought asylum in the first seven weeks of this financial year. \n\nSpeaking with Sky News, David Coleman said the number of people the department had granted visas to had actually dropped. \n\n“The reality is we are approving less than Labor did,” he said. \n\n“People who arrive onshore are a fairly small proportion of our program, less than 10 per cent. Under Labor it was much more.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n
