AUSTRALIAN CITIZENSHIP AMENDMENT (CONCESSIONAL APPLICATION FEES): Disallowance motion

A disallowance motion which was moved by Senator McKim has been agreed to in the Senate.  The Senate divided and there was a majority vote of one (1) in favour of the disallowance motion.

The motion says that removing the concessional application fees for Australian citizenship for migrant pensioners, widows, veterans and some others is not appropriate.  Those in favour of the disallowance motion stated that removing the concessional fees was unfair, unnecessary and mean-spirited.

    There are enough powers within the scope for the minister to charge a higher fee to give concession for the disallowed amendments (fee). I believe the curriminister & his cronies are mean enough to do it, i.e. introduce regulations of discounts but at a higher fees to negate this disallowed amendments.
