**** offfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Is this the same person who in 2013 did all he could to not recognise genuine protection? Crocodile tears!
Scott Morrison agreed his department should intervene in ASIO security checks to try to prevent asylum seekers from being granted permanent protection visas, according to cabinet documents obtained by the ABC.
- Immigration Department advised up to 700 asylum seekers "must" be granted permanent protection
- Scott Morrison agreed to "mitigation strategies" including asking ASIO to slow down security checks so deadlines would be missed
- Without intervention, 30 extra asylum seekers a week could have been granted protection
The Department of Immigration and Border Protection advised Mr Morrison that up to 700 asylum seekers "must" be granted permanent protection under the existing legislation.
The minister was clearly concerned, requesting the exact number and advice on whether he could confer an alternative visa.
The department wrote back with a range of "mitigation strategies" and the minister signed up.
Mr Morrison agreed his secretary should write to the director-general of security to request ASIO delay security checks so that people close to being granted permanent protection would miss the deadline.
