Peter Dutton has been savaged by the government for “turning a blind eye” in his former role as home affairs minister, following scathing findings into Australia’s immigration system being revealed.
Christine Nixon, commissioned by the government earlier this year to undertake a “rapid review” into the exploitation of the country’s visa system, found migrant worker exploitation was essentially a design feature of the system.
Ms Nixon’s review found that found that staffing cuts at the Home Affairs department under the former Coalition government had undermined effective compliance. She said the reality was, Mr Dutton had “turned a blind eye” to criminals routinely abusing Australia’s visa system. She said failures in the system had allowed Binjun Xie, the alleged Sydney-based human trafficking kingpin, to dodge authorities and remain in the system for nine years.
In response to the review, Ms O’Neil said it would expand multi-agency operation Inglebrook – set up initially to crack down on sex exploitation in the immigration and visa system – to address systemic migrant worker exploitation across all industries, and the misuse of the visa and migration system.
