Refugee advocates are urging the government to restore access to income support  to asylum seekers who arrived by boat before 2014. 

Reversing the changes is one of the 31 recommendations made in a report via the Human Rights Commision this wednesday. 

The Commission said, 30,000 people who arrived by boat to Australia before 2014 are at risk of poverty and don’t have adequate support to allow them to provide for their basic needs.
