I want to put the government's position on these amendments in that we will note the concerns raised by Senator McKim but will not be supporting the amendments. The bill creates a stronger, more coherent notification framework and addresses a number of technical deficiencies which have been identified in recent court judgements. The amendments in this bill will give greater certainty to visa applicants, visa holders and those whose visas have been cancelled, as well as to decision-makers in relation to notifications given under the Migration Act and regulations.
