THE Gillard government has shelved plans for offshore processing of asylum-seekers, announcing it will allow boat people to live and work in the community as detention centres overflow.
Under a plan announced by the Prime Minister today, all asylum-seekers will be processed on Australian soil with community detention and bridging visas provided to those unable to be processed within the existing detention centre network.
Let's hope the Government and Opposition keep on squabbling and give onshore processing a chance to work.
