Migration Amendment (Strengthening the Character Test) Bill 2019 + Explanatory Memorandum
The Migration Amendment (Strengthening the Character Test) Bill 2019 (the Bill) amends the Migration Act 1958 (the Migration Act) to provide grounds for non-citizens who commit serious offences, and who pose a risk to the safety of the Australian community, to be appropriately considered for visa refusal or cancellation. Specifically, the provisions of the Bill:
- amend the character test in section 501 of the Migration Act 1958 to provide grounds to consider visa cancellation or refusal where the non-citizen has been convicted of a serious crime.
- make consequential amendments to the definition of character concern in section 5C of the Migration Act 1958.
