Immigration (Mass Arrivals) Amendment Bill

Government bill

About this bill

This bill amends the Immigration Act 2009. This bill makes changes to the immigration regime to enable the management of irregular migrants by providing more time for District Courts to consider an application for a mass arrival warrant of commitment and allowing migrants to be detained until an application is determined; and clarifying responsibilities of members of a mass arrival group to apply for entry permission and a visa.
Voting method
Party voting: Parties decided whether or not to support this bill and cast votes on behalf of all their MPs.
