title: Recently-arrived migrants and social welfare.
abstract: "This article explores the impact of the Coalition Government's proposals to limit recently-arrived migrants' access to social welfare benefits [in Australia]. It concludes that while the short-term consequences for these migrants will be severe, the proposals do not address the more significant long-term welfare costs of family migration."
