Hongkongers push for visa scheme expansion
An exiled Hong Kong politician is calling on the federal government to offer visas to those who want to flee China's crackdown in the city.
The Morrison government is offering a potential pathway to permanent residency for Hongkongers already in Australia.
The scheme allows visas holders in Australia to stay for five more years and a path to permanent residency.
Ted Hui, a former Democratic Party councillor who now lives in Australia, on Saturday called for the scheme to be expanded to people trying to escape Hong Kong.
