A 10-year-old autistic boy and his mother won't be deported to the Philippines.
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has granted a permanent visa to Maria Sevilla and her son Tyrone, 10, who have been living in Townsville.
"I'm pleased we can provide assistance to a young boy who is in need of medical and educational support - as a generous country that's what we do," he told reporters in Canberra on Monday.
