MIGRATION LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (RESTORATION OF FAIR PROCESS) BILL 2006

  Explanatory Memorandum - Migration Legislation Amendment
             (Restoration of Fair Process) Bill 2006

                                 Senator Bartlett

The Migration Legislation Amendment (Restoration of Fair Process) Bill 2006
repeals the introduction of a privative clause mechanism which restricts access to
Federal and High Court judicial review of administrative decisions made under the
Migration Act.

It does so by repealing certain provisions of the Administrative Decisions (Judicial
Review) Act 1977 and the Migration Act 1958.
