What restrictions, if any, would the commission want to see applied? Would it want asylum seekers to be given every opportunity in terms of healthcare, education, work and to see the removal all of the administrative barriers in order to facilitate people as much as possible? The commission is coming at this issue from the polar opposite position of the Department. How can the Department give effective access? What restrictions could potentially apply or should there be no restrictions in any context? I am trying to get a sense of the practical implementation of this.
