HAWKE: Migration (Class of persons - Refugee and Humanitarian (Class XB) visa) Instrument (LIN 21/080) 2021
The purpose of the instrument is to specify a class of persons for paragraph 1402(3B)(b) of Schedule 1 to the Regulations. The instrument specifies as a class of persons, persons who were granted Subclass 449 visas due to the deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan. In practise, these are Afghan nationals who were evacuated from Afghanistan to Australia, who:
- were locally engaged employees of the Australian Government;
- had a strong connection to Australia; or
- were particularly vulnerable or high profile and who may come to the attention of the Taliban because of that vulnerability or profile.
