1625: Last Minute Visa for Nursing Home Worker Facing Deportation

An aged care nurse and his family in Murray Bridge have been
granted new bridging visas, four days before they were set to be
deported.

Lerwin Nursing Home worker Clifford Chisengalumbwe faced
deportation today, Friday 30 September, if the Federal Government
did not grant he, Ngoza, his wife, and Mckayla, their daughter
new visas.

Following intervention from his immigration lawyer, Mark
Glazbrook, and a strong media campaign last month, the
Immigration Minister has decided to grant the Zambian family
bridging visas until January, which will be long enough for them
to apply for permanent residency.

In this podcast, Jennie finds out more from Clifford.
