(1) reversing Labor s decision in 2008 to abolish temporary protection visas, as part of their abolition of the Howard Government s border protection regime, that has led to more than 30,000 illegal arrivals of people by boat, more than 1,000 deaths at sea, more than 8,100 permanent protection visas being denied to people who applied for a humanitarian visa offshore because they did not come on a boat and a budget blowout for taxpayers of $6.6 billion; and

(2) re-establishing two forms of temporary protection visa that can be issued to people found to engage Australia s protection obligations who have arrived illegally by boat for a period of no greater than three years, subject to the following conditions, namely:

(a) family reunion is not permitted;

(b) if the holder of the visa departs Australia, he or she may not re-enter Australia;

(c) if the holder of the visa is no longer a refugee when the term of the visa expires they will return home;

(d) where the holder is unable to find work, access to welfare will be subject to strict mutual obligation requirements, such as work for the dole;

(e) the holder is legally barred from applying for a permanent protection visa; and
