Last time i had solicitor Matt on our radio, 24th Dec 2014.
Tonight i invited Matt once again to comment on a recent ABC – Radio News – Law Report [ Foreign parents, Australian children – Tues 8th July 2015 ]
http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/lawreport/
If a temporary migrant has a baby with an Australian, the baby is a citizen.
But what happens if
the couple splits up and the foreign parent has to leave the country?
But before we play the audio, many thanks to the courtesy of ABC, i would like to mention these cases;
1] 1949 - Mrs O’Keefe and the battle for White Australia
Labor Prime Minister Ben Chifley [ 1945 - 1949 ]
Minister for Immigration Arthur Calwell [ 1945 – 1949 ]
In 1942, Indonesian Annie Maas Jacob, her husband Samuel and their children escaped to Australia as the Japanese military advanced into the Dutch-controlled Aru Islands in the eastern archipelago. The family settled in Melbourne and Samuel began work for the Netherlands Indies Forces Intelligence Service, a Dutch intelligence service set up in Australia to monitor the situation in the Dutch East Indies. In September 1944, he was killed in an air crash when returning to Australia from New Guinea, leaving Annie and the children to an uncertain future. The Dutch Government granted Annie a pension of £28 a month. Help also came from their landlord, a retired postal clerk named John (Jack) O’Keefe. With the end of the war, Immigration Minister Arthur Calwell made plans to repatriate the thousands of Asian evacuees who, like the Jacob family, had sought refuge in Australia.
2] 1965 - five-year-old Nancy Prasad [ Indian Fijian ] was deported from Australia.
Aboriginal leader Charles Perkins staged a kidnap to draw attention to the injustice of Australia’s immigration policies.
But the following day the government made sure she left.
In the 1970s, a new Immigration Minister, Al Grassby, responded to a call on live television and teenager Nancy was finally allowed to return to Australia.
