Milestones

We believe that scrapping asylum support saves the taxpayer's money and budget; and that allowing asylum seekers to work would help asylum seekers to integrate into society.

We think that a lot of money is wasted by denying asylum seekers the right to work while we have a shortage of workers; and this action would save the country's economy.
