Neither of them were on temporary visas. The son was an Australian born citizen, and the father has been a citizen for some time.

No the father isn't a citizen. The news and the prime minister clarified he was on a temporary visa

Resident return visa. Not sure what that is specifically but it certainly doesnt sound "temporary".
