This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Petition Work status for asylum seekers
More details
We petition the government to allow asylum seekers whose residential status has yet to be determined to enter into legal employment. This will help to put an end to the enforced destitution and reliance on charity of asylum seekers. It will also reduce homelessness and enable people seeking asylum to contribute to the country through paying tax. In addition it will help to reduce the illegal employment and exploitation of asylum seekers
