"Nearly 29,000 asylum seekers are in Australia on temporary ‘bridging visas’.
These people may be free from detention but – with many denied education,
healthcare and the right to work – they remain locked in desperate poverty and
with no idea what their futures hold."

Another long article on one of Australia's greatest failings.  Via Antony
