MIGRATION LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (END OF MANDATORY DETENTION) BILL 2006 [2008]

 Explanatory Memorandum - Migration Legislation Amendment (End of Mandatory
                            Detention) Bill 2006


                           Senator Andrew Bartlett


This Bill seeks to eliminate the system of mandatory migration detention
which was introduced by the Migration Reform Act 1992 and replace it with
an alternative system which is more humane, less expensive, meets
Australia's obligations under international law and provides a more
effective mechanism for prompt and efficient administration of Australian
migration laws.
