Asylum-seeker advocates have criticised the Federal Government's gradual tightening of eligibility requirements for its Status Resolution Support Service program. The program provides a safety net, including payments of less than $35 a day and casework support, for those people awaiting news on their immigration status. Maheswaran Prabaharan has the story in Tamil, written by Peggy Giakoumelos for SBS News.
