Australia and Malaysia launched Operation Redback XIII today, a joint border protection exercise to  fight maritime crime in the Malacca Strait. 

The thirteenth iteration of Operation Redback is being held from 17 to 21 June 2019 and will see  more than 80 officers from the Australian Border Force (ABF) and Malaysia Coast Guard (MCG) come  together in Klang, Malaysia. 

Through the joint operation, ABF and MCG officers will build their operational skills and enhance  their preparedness for combating a range of maritime threats including people smuggling, terrorism  and human trafficking. 

The Office of the MARA has stated as follows to Migration Alliance this afternoon in relation to ImmiWork.com:

"The Office of the MARA have asked any RMA who has asked to have their profile removed, that they are removed.  The OMARA's preference is that only those people who have opted in are listed on the website, and this is still subject to advice OMARA are obtaining internally".

It is on that basis that the proposed interview with ImmiWork's Daniel Shabrokh will be postponed until further advice from the Office of the MARA.  

Could threatening your intimate partner in the context of a spouse 820/801 be relevant to a claim of "Family Violence"?

Apart from being behaviour that is less than optimal it appears that such behaviour will be relevant to the opinion of the IE.

Recently there has been a lot of news and comment about the new website ImmiWork.com.

To help demystify this situation and help us, and our members understand more about ImmiWork, a live interview has been set up with RMA, Daniel Shabrokh from ImmiWork.com
