She said each case was determined individually.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cIt\u2019s a really pleasing decision. The main thing with Neil is that he has been such a great community man for the town of Ballarat,\u201d Ford said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cIt is great to see he has been granted permanent residency, it means the family can move on.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Para said he was \u201cgrateful\u201d for the decision and sure his children would \u201cfollow their dream\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cMy family feels humbled \u2026We promise that we will contribute to Australia.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">He said refugees had a lot to offer the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cOne day I hope all will be free.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Para set off from Ballarat with well-wishes from a crowd of supporters on August 1 and was due to arrive at Enmore Park in Sydney on September 10 for a celebration picnic after completing the final 6km stretch with his family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">There are about 12,500 people who have lived in Australia for more than a decade, but are ineligible to apply for permanent residency under the new Resolution of Status visa.About 2,500 have no visa at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Para planned to deliver a petition containing more than 19,000 signatures to the Prime Minister\u2019s office on Monday, calling on the federal government to end uncertainty for asylum seekers living in limbo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">A Government spokesperson said it did not comment on individual cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cThe Minister has discretion to intervene on compelling and compassionate grounds, including but not limited to, in cases where the individual as Australian citizen children,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Para walked an average of 30km every day, although some rest days were dedicated to community events along the journey. He said blisters were a major challenge, but the support of hundreds of people pushed him along.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cIt was a real challenge for me to walk with the blisters and put my feet in the boots, but I have a goal, I have a purpose, I have a family, I have a community,\u201d Para said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Hundreds of people walked alongside Para during his journey and were involved in organising the route and events along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">They cooked meals, made packed lunches, drove the support vehicle and offered him a place to stay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Some volunteers were tasked with testing the route, to avoid mishaps like one day when online directions took Para and his support vehicle through a cow paddock. Para said he has felt all of Australia behind him, an extension of the long and ongoing support from people in Ballarat, who the Para family have relied on to pay their rent and cover their bills for nearly 10 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">He was able to work for just four months when he was first released into the community in Australia on a bridging visa \u2013 until the family\u2019s application for protection was rejected and their visa was revoked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">They have since lodged many appeals against the rejection and made applications for ministerial intervention, including just after the beginning of Para\u2019s walk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Supporters previously called on Immigration Minister Andrew Giles to grant the Para family permanent residency, just as he did for a family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><em><strong>(ABC
