Mr Martin Ferguson
asked the Minister representing the Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs, in writing, on 28 November 2005:
(1) How many people who hold a Retirement Visa (subclass 410 - Temporary) are resident in (a) Australia and (b) each Commonwealth electoral division.
(2) Will the Government adopt the recommendations of the Joint House Committee on Migration to permit self-funded retirees who renew their visas a second time to be eligible to apply for permanent residence under a new category of visa based on the same principles applying to the retirement visa.
Mr Ruddock (Attorney-General)
—The Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs has provided the following answer to the honourable member’s question:
(1) As at 1 March 2006, there were 5,020 Retirement Visa (subclass 410 - Temporary) holders. It is estimated that the vast majority of these currently reside in Australia. A breakdown of these visa holders by Commonwealth electoral division, however, is not available.
(2) I am aware of proposals put to the Joint Standing Committee on Migration (JSCM) by Retirement visa holders that they be able to access permanent residence. The Chair of the Committee, Mr Don Randall MP wrote to me on 16 March 2005 seeking my agreement to conduct a short inquiry into “Aged Parent and Retiree visas”. I replied on 19 April 2005 declining this request but indicated my willingness to consider issues relating to aged parent and retiree visas at a later date.
