The controversial Direction 99 will be rewritten to ensure legal authorities “give weight to community safety” when hearing appeals against visa cancellations.
by revising a ministerial directive that has enabled dozens of people who have had their visas cancelled to stay in Australia and commit more crimes.
“We will strengthen the principles of community safety, including the impact of victims and their families and strengthen the family violence provisions.“First and foremost, this means ensuring that the protection of the community outweighs other considerations. This is always been the Albanese government’s highest priority.”
The AAT subsequently, in dozens of cases, overturned decisions to cancel visas, citing the new rules, allowing rapists, paedophiles and domestic violence offenders to stay in Australia and, in many cases, reoffend. “At some stage, if we are re-elected, or perhaps even before, you make some changes, inevitably, that occurs, but I think the stability of the team has been a real strength,” he said.
