His friends perished.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Now with a toddler Kuyili, the couple\u2019s claim for a safe haven in Australia has stalled for 12 years despite their insistence that it\u2019s not safe for them to return.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cHe thought Australia was a democratic country and would help them,\u201d refugee advocate Wicki Wickiramasingham says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cBut it is going very, very badly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In February 2023, the Federal Government announced fast-tracked Resolution of Status visas for refugees languishing on temporary visas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">By January this year, 14,390 RoS visas were granted, with about a quarter (5685) of applications remaining.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Temporary partner visas and permanent partner visas were also granted in greater numbers as the Government cleared what it said was an inherited 1 million visa backlog.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Despite the fanfare, 12,000 asylum seekers were not eligible for the RoS visas. Like Kumaran and Kulali, they remain in limbo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Things got markedly worse when the couple\u2019s rights to work and study in Australia were suddenly cancelled in 2018. Those rights have not been restored.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Kumaran had been saving to start an enterprise in Australia. Meanwhile Kulali\u2019s child-care studies was also brought to a halt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">With their savings exhausted, they depend on donations from various charities and friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">They\u2019ve moved between five rental homes in 12 years, barely able to pay rent, utilities and Kuyili\u2019s medical expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Living on charity is demeaning for Kumaran, the former businessman who employed up to 70 people in video-photo, jewellery, poultry and timber enterprises in Sri Lanka.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cWhen I first got here, I had a work permit and built savings,\u201d Kumaran said. \u201cBut when I lost the work permit, no one gave us work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cWe\u2019ve lost all our savings.

He has work rights but with such an uncertain visa status, no one will employ him, he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Even after a successful appeal to the Federal Court, he continues to be denied a five-year temporary protection visa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Murali says he\u2019s \u201cburning\u201d all the time inside, unable to sleep and dressed. He prays that \u201call good things will come with time\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cI\u2019m laughing (on the outside) but I\u2019m not laughing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Wickiramisingham says he knows of more than 10 other cases like Murali.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">He says family reunion visas are exorbitantly priced for humanitarian entrants to Australia.
