Senator SHORT --I have a question in relation to the minister's statement, or announcement, of 3 November concerning the new advisory board for the bureau. How do you see that new board, which is said to be designed to give the bureau a `sharper strategic focus', affecting your role in terms of autonomy and

Senator SHORT --Page 27 of the annual report says that the number of people applying for permanent residence onshore in 1994-95 was 15,196. Does that include the 1,100 or so East Timorese? Mr Sullivan --No, it does not include asylum seekers. Senator ELLISON --What is the difference between an asylum seeker refugee and

Senator SHORT --In Q1 I asked for a breakdown of the processing times in 1994-95 for this subprogram by visa category, a comparison with the preceding two years, and the proposed targets or projections for 1995-96.

Senator SHORT --Okay; we might as well start off with Curtin. I think what was described as the riot at Curtin occurred since our last hearing. What had occurred at the time of the last hearing was the walk out. I have a couple of questions on the walk out but, firstly, as

LEGAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL LEGISLATION COMMITTEE : 30/05/1995 : DEPARTMENT OF IMMIGRATION AND ETHNIC AFFAIRS : Program 1--Bureau of Immigration, Multicultural and Population Research : [Senate Estimates]

Senator O'CHEE --The papers indicate that the estimated outlays for the 1994-95 year come in at $5.985 million. The budget for 1995-96 is $5.83 million, which is a reduced outlay; yet the estimate of staff years for 1994-95 versus 1995-96 shows an increase of three staff years in that period of time. Can you

Senator Bolkus --The point I would make here is that there has been no increase in expenditure. No additional expenditure has been referred to the committee. Mr Chairman, what we have been discussing clearly becomes relevant. Senator SHORT --On your interpretation there could not have been any questions asked of the Bureau of Immigration

Senator SHORT --First of all, I notice that the director of the BIPR is not here today. It is unusual, I think. Is there any particular reason why he is not here? Mr Struik --Unfortunately, the director has leave during this period and was not able to come. He asked me to come

Senator SHORT --In terms of the 1993-94 intake, the final total figure was very close to the 63,000 that had been planned. But I think I am right in saying that the independent, skilled and the concessional family categories failed to meet their planning targets. Could you confirm that? I think that it is

Senator SHORT --Some members of the Vietnamese community in Australia have raised their concerns about the prospect of forced repatriation to Vietnam of some returnees who are still in some of the South-East Asian detention camps.

Senator SHORT --In the first few paragraphs on page 2 of the budget measures statement, and under the heading `Portfolio overview', it says that the portfolio of immigration and ethnic affairs is made up of a range of things.
