Now HERE'S an idea with MERIT !

Homestay for asylum seekers sought

May 3, 2012 - 7:24AM

Australian families will be paid up to $300 a week to temporarily house asylum seekers to make up a shortfall in community housing.

The program will begin next month, with the federal government seeking 5000 homes to be registered with the privately run Australia Homestay Network, News Limited reports.

Families will host asylum seekers released from detention centres on bridging visas.

The move has backing from the Refugee Council of Australia.

"Mandatory detention makes people mentally ill and is expensive," spokesman Paul Power told News Limited.

Communications Minister Stephen Conroy described the proposal as a possible short term solution to overcrowding in detention centres.

"An organisation has come to us and said `here is a possible short term solution' and we're investigating it and seeing if anyone is interested," Senator Conroy said.

"If it saves costs to the Australian taxpayer then it's an improvement. It's not any extra money for the budget."

GREAT idea, in fact

FAMILIES may be difficult, but what a bonus to PENSIONERS - in taking in a single boarder for $300 a week

( ... as opposed to the THOUSANDS per week - to the taxpayer - for the cost of detention)

I'd like to see more DETAILSii

Potential Host

Q. What is Homestay?

A. Homestay is a cultural exchange between a local individual or family (called a host) and a visiting student. The student lives for an agreed period of time as a guest in your home.

Q. How does it work?

A. As a host you would generally be required to provide the student with all their basic needs, including their own room, food and space to study. Over the period of their time together the host assists the student to become familiar with the local area and customs in a relaxed and friendly household setting. The student is also encouraged to share with the host information about their home country and culture. This interaction is what makes homestay ideal for students and hosts looking for a unique cultural experience.

Q. How much do I get paid?

The student pays a weekly fee to cover management and supervision costs, insurance, 24/7 emergency support services and to also reimburse the host for day to day food and accommodation expenses support. This fee varies from State to State and generally ranges from $ 220 to $300 per week. The host receives approximately 85% of this fee to reimburse them for day to day expenses.

This income is tax free (non assessable) for up to 2 students being hosted

They'd soon get to know the meaning of hard work if I opened my doors to them. They'd be wishing they were back at the detention centre, or even back in kabul. Unlike the traitor class, I expect them to actually earn their keep.

That said, I did have an afghan refugee as a boarder in late 2001 or early 2002 - right when everyone was fretting about afghan tearrrism. He was a nice guy, but definitely not of benefit to society.

Yes tolerator because I am sure cleaning up after your domestic bliss would be a lot harder work then they have ever done

A mate of my dad's in the UK runs a house for Somalian 'refugees' and actually does bloody well out of it.

The Government picks up the tab, he can charge at well over the going rate and they also assist with the additional bills etc.

Problem is though the upkeep of the place.
He said the way they live they are no better than farmyard animals.

There are not many asylum seekers who do that

yeah, only 85% of them.

Or is this the part where we play the boring, lame semantic game about the differnce between illegal immigrants, asylum seekrs and refuigees?
