Thank you, but I asked what else. As far as I can see, the minister only has to get an assurance that the receiving country will not send a person back to their own country or to a place where their life might be endangered and that they have to assess them as refugees. There is nothing there about any other rights, except to say:
It goes on to talk about the national interest being border security, national security, defence, economic interests and so on. I want to know where there is any guarantee about access to the law, access to health, access to education, access to any services. Where is any of that?
