The Migration Amendment (Protection and Other Measures) Bill pass Senate


The Migration Amendment (Protection and Other Measures) Bill was passed on 25 March 2015.

According to Assistant Immigration Minister The Hon Senator Michaela Cash, the amended bill would crack down on fraud and streamline visa processes to reduce cost. However, the changes have been criticised for making it easier for decision-makers to deny protection to people who don't have genuine claims and making it harder for people who do have genuine claims to access the protection they deserve.
