Yes, exactly. They earned the money in Australia contributing to the economy. Just because they are not permanent residents, I do not see why they should lose their rights to access that. We are not talking about their lifetime savings; we are only talking about what they earned when they were in Australia, and I believe that they should have the right to access that on the terms that anybody else who earns money in Australia accesses it.
