Just recently, an incident happen that showed someone wanting to stay in Australia.

An ailing 96-year-old British woman has quite recently won the right to stay in northern Tasmania with her only surviving relatives, after her family feared her deportation to the United Kingdom.

Gladys Jefferson, the 96-year-old British woman, has been living with her daughter since moving from England’s Isle of Wight last year when she called her daughter Bridget Grigg to tell her that her health and memory had started failing.
She had entered Australia on a tourist Australian visa about a year ago.

This fear of deportation resulted when the Department of Immigration and Citizenship subsequently rejected her contributory parent visa Australia application, which was initially rejected because she was deemed to be a burden on the welfare system.

However, Immigration to Australia Minister Chris Bowen hit back at reports claiming the government plans to deport her.
According to Minister Bowen, the Australian Government is not deporting nor even considering deporting Mrs. Gladys Jefferson.

Now, the great-grandmother has currently been granted a medical treatment Australian migration visa, which would allow her to stay in the country.
