(1) Further to the answers to questions Nos. 426 (Hansard , 23 March 1999, page 4145) and 546 (Hansard , 11 May 1999, page 5119), in 1997-98, how many visitors from (a) Argentina, (b) the People's Republic of China, (c) Lebanon, (d) Taiwan, (e) Turkey, (f) the United Arab Emirates and (g) Vietnam remained in Australia on a new visa issued through refugee/humanitarian processes.
(2) What was the nature of the visa categories for the persons from each country referred to in part (1) who made a legal departure on a new visa.
Mr Ruddock (Immigration and Multicultural Affairs; Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Reconciliation)
—The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:

(2) All departed on their protection visas.
