With reference to the draft discussion paper entitled 'Review Stage 1: Retirement 410 Visa Holders and Access to Medicare' published by the department in September-October 2011, and given that British Expat Retirees in Australia provided comment on the draft discussion paper, notably in relation to the absence of any comment on the 457 temporary visas, and were advised that the department was considering the comments prior to finalising the document:

(1) Has this document been released in its final form; if so, can a copy be provided; if not, when is it expected to be published.

(2) Will a definitive report be published that explains the basis of the department's findings and recommendations.
