Commonwealth Consolidated Acts

MIGRATION ACT 1958 - SECT 6

    To avoid doubt, although subsection   5(1) limits, for the purposes of this Act, the meanings of enter Australia , leave Australia and remain in Australia and as well, because of section   18A of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 , the meaning of parts of speech and grammatical forms of those phrases, this does not mean:

  (a)   that, for those purposes, the meaning of in Australia , to Australia or any other phrase is limited; or

  (b)   that this Act does not extend to parts of Australia outside the migration zone; or

  (c)   that this Act does not apply to persons in those parts.

Note:   See also subsection   9A(3), which deals with when a person is taken to be in Australia, to travel to Australia, to enter Australia or to leave Australia. Section   9A concerns offshore resources activities.
