An asylum seeker in the South East has been banned from paid work as he waits years on a legal bid to remain in Australia.
The man, effectively without a legal income, risks deportation by working cash-in-hand jobs to survive.
Otherwise he and his family depend on charity, he says.
The man says his protection visa – along with his permit to work – was revoked by the Federal Government after he launched a High Court of Australia appeal to stay in the country.
He is likely to wait for up to three years for his hearing – a case that will cost him $10,000.
