SCHEDULE Section 3
AMENDMENT OF THE MIGRATION ACT 1958
1. After Subdivision AH of Division 3 of Part 2:
Insert:
"Subdivision AI—Certain non-citizens unable to apply for certain visas
Reason for Subdivision
"91A. This Subdivision is enacted because the Parliament considers that certain non-citizens who are covered by the CPA, or in relation to whom there is a safe third country, should not be allowed to apply for a protection visa or, in some cases, any other visa. Any such non-citizen who is an unlawful non-citizen will be subject to removal under Division 8.
Interpretation
"91B.(1) In this Subdivision:
'agreement' includes a written arrangement or understanding, whether or not binding;
'CPA' means the Comprehensive Plan of Action approved by the International Conference on Indo-Chinese Refugees, held at Geneva, Switzerland, from 13 to 14 June 1989.
"(2) For the purposes of this Subdivision, if, apart from this section:
(a) a colony, overseas territory or protectorate of a foreign country; or
(b) an overseas territory for the international relations of which a foreign country is responsible;
is not a country in its own right, the colony, territory or protectorate is taken to be a country in its own right.
