EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

 

Select Legislative Instrument 2007 No. 314

 

 

 

Issued by the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship

 

Migration Act 1958

 

Migration Amendment Regulations 2007 (No. 12)

 

 

Subsection 504(1) of the Migration Act 1958 (the Act) provides, in part, that the Governor-General may make regulations, not inconsistent with the Act, prescribing all matters which by the Act are required or permitted to be prescribed, or which are necessary or convenient to be prescribed for carrying out or giving effect to the Act.

In addition the following provisions may apply:

·        Subsection 31(3), which provides that the regulations may prescribe criteria for a visa of a specified class; and

 

·        Section 40, which provides that the regulations may provide that a visa of a specified class may only be granted in specified circumstances.

 

The purpose of the Regulations is to amend the Principal Regulations to introduce a new requirement that applicants for permanent, and selected temporary visas must sign a statement that, among other things, they will respect Australian values and will comply with Australian law for the duration of their stay in Australia (a values statement).

 

In particular, the Regulations:

 

·        insert a new public interest criterion which makes it a requirement for the grant of a specified visa that the applicant sign a values statement;

 

·        amend each specified subclass of visa in the Principal Regulations to make it a time of decision requirement for each applicant, who had turned 18 at the time of application, that he or she satisfies the new values statement public interest criterion;

 

·        require the Minister to specify, in an instrument in writing, one or more types of values statements and the subclasses of visa for which each type of values statement must be signed;

 

·        allow the Minister to decide that the applicant is not required to sign a values statement where there are compelling circumstances; and

 

·        provide for an applicant making an internet application to sign the values statement on behalf of other applicants included in the same internet application.

 

 

Details of the proposed Regulations are set out in Attachment A.

 

 

The Regulations commence on 15 October 2007.

 

The Office of Regulation Review in the Productivity Commission has been consulted and advises that the direct impact of the regulations are on individuals rather than business and the regulations are not likely to have a direct effect, or substantial indirect effect, on business or restrict competition.

The following external agencies and other bodies were consulted in relation to the Regulations:

·        Attorney-General’s Department;

·        Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade;

·        Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet;

·        Department of Families and Community Services and Indigenous Affairs;

·        Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry;

·        Business Council of Australia; and

·        Australian Industry Group.

 

The Regulations are a legislative instrument for the purposes of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003.

Details of the Migration Amendment Regulations 2007 (No. 12)

Regulation 1 – Name of Regulations

This regulation provides that the Regulations are the Migration Amendment Regulations 2007 (No. 12).

Regulation 2 – Commencement

This regulation provides for the Regulations to commence on 15 October 2007.

Regulation 3 – Amendment of Migration Regulations 1994

This regulation provides that Schedule 1 amends the Migration Regulations 1994 (the Principal Regulations).

Regulation 4 – Transitional

Subregulation 4(1) provides that subject to subregulations 4(2) and (3) the amendments made by Schedule 1 apply to an application for a visa made on or after 15 October 2007.

Subregulation 4(2) provides that the amendments made by items [1] to [314] do not apply to an application for a visa made by a person if the person is an additional applicant within the meaning of regulation 2.08A of an original applicant who made an application for a visa before 15 October 2007, and the application of the additional applicant is taken to have been made, in accordance with paragraph 2.08A(1)(f) of the Principal Regulations, on or after 15 October 2007. The terms “additional applicant” and “original applicant” are defined within regulation 2.08A of the Principal Regulations.

Subregulation 4(3) provides that the amendments made by items [1] to [314] of Schedule 1 do not apply in relation to an application for a visa made by a person if the person is a dependent child of an original applicant who made an application for a visa before

15 October 2007, and the application of the dependent child is taken to have been made, in accordance with paragraph 2.08B(1)(f) of the Principal Regulations, on or after 15 October 2007. The terms “dependent child” and “original applicant” are defined within regulation 2.08B of the Principal Regulations.

The purpose of the transitional arrangements in subregulations (2) and (3) are to ensure that additional applicants and dependent children who are added to an existing application are not required to sign a values statement unless the original applicant applied on or after the commencement of the Regulations, that is, 15 October 2007.

 

Schedule 1 – Amendments

Part 1 – Amendments of Schedule 2

General Notes – Items [1] to [314]

Items [1] to [314] of Part 1 to Schedule 1 to the Regulations amend various provisions in Schedule 2 to the Principal Regulations by inserting, as a time of decision criterion, references to new public interest criterion 4019 in relevant provisions in selected permanent and temporary visa subclasses. The amendments made by these items provide that new public interest criterion 4019 must only be satisfied if an applicant had turned 18 at the time of application.

For most visa subclasses, new public interest criterion 4019 must be satisfied by applicants seeking to satisfy either the primary criteria or the secondary criteria for the grant of a subclass of visa. If all applicants seeking the grant of that subclass of visa must satisfy the primary criteria then amendments are made to the primary criteria only. In addition, most visa subclasses have been amended to include as a primary criterion the requirement that a member of the family unit or immediate family (or any other person specified in the relevant subclass) who have made an application for the same subclass of visa with the applicant also satisfies new public interest criterion 4019.

The affected subclasses of visa are listed in Attachment B along with the specific items amending those subclasses, and details of the provisions which are amended.

The amendments made by items [1] to [314] include a number of minor consequential and technical amendments which result from inserting new public interest criterion 4019 in the various amended provisions. Depending on the structure of the provision being amended, some items make minimal changes, whereas other items require the redrafting of the affected provisions. Apart from where specifically mentioned below, the amendments made by this Part do not effect substantive amendments to the affected provisions other than the inclusion of new public interest criterion.

Details of public interest criterion 4019 are discussed below in relation to the amendments made by Part 2 of Schedule 1 to the Regulations.

Item [172] – Paragraph 457.224(c)

This item amends clause 457.224 of Part 457 (Subclass 457 – Business (Long Stay)) of Schedule 2 to the Principal Regulations by substituting paragraph 457.224(c) with a new paragraph (c), and by inserting new paragraph 457.224(d).

New paragraph 457.224(c) provides that if an applicant does not seek a visa on the basis that they meet the requirements of subclause 457.223(9) of the Principal Regulations they are required to satisfy public interest criterion 4006A. New paragraph 457.223(d) further provides that an applicant to whom new paragraph (c) applies who had turned 18 at the time of application is required to satisfy new public interest criterion 4019.

Subclause 457.223(9) provides that the applicant meets the requirement of the subclause if they are a person to whom privileges and immunities will be accorded under the International Organisations (Privileges and Immunities) Act 1963 or the Overseas Missions (Privileges and Immunities) Act 1995, and the Foreign Minister has recommended in writing to the Minister that the applicant should be granted the visa. Such applicants are not required to satisfy public interest criterion 4006A and new public interest criterion 4019.

Item [177] – Clause 457.325

This item substitutes clause 457.325 of Part 457 (Subclass 457 – Business (Long Stay)) of Schedule 2 to the Principal Regulations with a new clause 457.325.

New clause 457.325 inserts, as a time of decision criterion, the new requirement that an applicant seeking to satisfy the secondary criteria must satisfy new public interest criterion 4019 if:

·        the applicant had turned 18 at the time of application; and

·        the applicant did not make an application with a primary applicant who seeks to meet the requirements of subclause 457.223(9).

The effect of the amendments made by this item is that an applicant who made a combined application with another applicant who seeks to meet the requirements in subclause 457.223(9) is not required to satisfy new public interest criterion 4019.

Subclause 457.223(9) provides that the applicant meets the requirement of the subclause if they are a person to whom privileges and immunities will be accorded under the International Organisations (Privileges and Immunities) Act 1963 or the Overseas Missions (Privileges and Immunities) Act 1995, and the Foreign Minister has recommended in writing to the Minister that the applicant should be granted the visa.

Part 2 – Amendments of Schedule 4

Item [315] – Part 1, after item 4018

This item inserts a new public interest criterion 4019 in Schedule 4 to the Principal Regulations. Subclause 4019(1) makes it a requirement that an applicant has signed a values statement in accordance with new Part 3 to Schedule 4 to the Principal Regulations. Please see the notes for item [316] below for further information about new Part 3 and the requirements for new public interest criterion 4019.

New subclause 4019(2) provides that if compelling circumstances exist, the Minister may decide that the applicant is not required to satisfy new subclause 4019(1).

Item [316] – After Part 2

·        the values that are important to Australian society;

·        matters concerning Australian citizenship (if relevant); and

·        compliance with the laws of Australia.

New subclause 3.1(3) further provides that a values statement may include other provisions.

New subclause 3.1(4) provides that, for public interest criterion 4019, a values statement is taken to have been signed by an applicant who makes an Internet application if the instructions for signing the values statement are followed. Possible instructions to which new subclause (4) may relate include where an applicant signs an Internet application and indicates that other applicants in the application have also confirmed they agree to the values statement.
