The Immigration Department has granted a US activist another
extension of time to answer questions about his character.
The status of Lorenzo Ervin's Australian visa will depend on the
answers he provides.
Mr Ervin's Brisbane lawyer, Terry Fisher, says they have until
midday on Monday to respond to the questions.
Mr Fisher says the Immigration Department has considerably reduced
the areas which it wishes to question Mr Ervin about.
However, Mr Fisher says he doubts whether documentation supporting
his client's good character will arrive from the United States in
time to meet the Monday deadline.
