New coalition bid for temporary visas THE federal opposition will make another attempt to introduce draft laws that reintroduce temporary protection visas for asylum seekers. Opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison will introduce a private member's bill to parliament's lower house on Monday. "On the last occasion I sought to do that the government used its numbers to block the introduction of that measure," he told reporters in Canberra. Under the proposal, the visas would only last until it was safe for people to return to their home country. Temporary protection visas were abolished in 2008 by the Rudd government.
