In its review of these decisions, the Administrative Appeals Tribunal ('the Tribunal') is frequently perceived as being too independent. I explore the role of the Tribunal, examining aspects of its performance having regard to the wider context and consider what the Tribunal's role should be when reviewing these types of cases. My historical overview reveals an area of decision-making, marked by an underlying tension between Jaw and politics. In order to provide a framework in which to assess the Tribunal's performance, I provide an overview of the law and fact-finding processes. After briefly setting out some usages of "character" in philosophy and psychology, I explore its use in different legal contexts and show how it serves particular goals and is influenced by the various interests at play. I proceed to explore the two limbs of section 50 I, namely the grounds upon which a person is deemed to have failed the character test, and the exercise of the discretion to refuse or cancel the visa. I show how the government employs various devices to shape Tribunal decision-making. I explore its independence, the fairness of its processes, and the quality of its decision­ making and conclude that although Tribunal members ultimately enjoy independence of thought, their ability to accord applicants procedural fairness is compromised. I argue that as members of the legal, and, at times, the social community, the difference in treatment of non-citizens cannot always be justified. In accordance with this view of justice, I suggest legal reform, designed to better balance the values and interests involved. The bulk of my thesis relates to the law prior to the coming into force of recent amendments, although I discuss the impact of these changes. Declaration relating to disposition of project thesis/dissertation I hereby grant to the University of New South Wales or its agents the right to archive and to make available my thesis or dissertation in whole or in part in the University libraries in all forms of media, now or here after known , subject to the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968.

  • The Legality of the Deportation of Long-Term Residents from Australia
    ‘AN “ALIEN” BY THE BAREST OF THREADS’* — THE LEGALITY OF THE DEPORTATION OF LONG-TERM RESIDENTS FROM AUSTRALIA MICHELLE FOSTER† [The banishment of long-term permanent residents from Australia following criminal conviction is a controversial practice, yet one that has been increasingly employed by the Australian government in recent years. This article assesses the legality of this practice both in terms of domestic and international law. The article first considers the history of both constitutional doctrine and legislative developments in this area, explaining how it is that the Commonwealth can lawfully engage in the deportation of Australian residents who are citizens but for ‘the barest of technicalities’. In the latter half of the article, the analysis turns to consider the international law context to this issue, with particular focus on the extent to which the advent of international human rights law has curtailed states’ plenary power in this arena. The article concludes that the deportation of long-term residents implicates a number of Australia’s key international obligations and thus makes recommendations for urgent reform of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth).] CONTENTS I Introduction............................................................................................................. 484 II The Deportation of Long-Term Residents from Australia: Constitutional Background............................................................................................................. 489 III The Deportation of Long-Term Residents

  • Conviction, Detention and Removal: the Multiple Punishment of Offenders Under Section 501 Migration Act
    1 Conviction, detention and removal: the multiple punishment of offenders under section 501 Migration Act Paper presented to the Australian and New Zealand Society of Criminology Conference, University of Western Australia, Perth, 24 November 2009. Dr.Michael Grewcock, Faculty of Law, University of New South Wales. Abstract Under S501 of the Migration Act, being imprisoned for a criminal offence can constitute grounds for visa cancellation, even for people who have spent most of their lives in Australia. ‘Non‐citizens’ who have had their visas cancelled in this way are liable to detention on completion of their prison sentence; form a distinct cohort within the immigration detainee population; and are routinely deported. Developing themes outlined initially at the Critical Criminology conference hosted by Monash University in Melbourne in July 2009, this paper examines the punitive implications of S501 including: its impact on risk assessment and the parole process; the institutionalisation of double punishment; and the multiple mechanisms of disempowerment operating through the detention regime. While this remains work in progress, the paper argues that criminal convictions do not justify detention and removal, and suggests a framework for future research, as part of a wider project to examine the administrative transformation of lawful into unlawful subjects. Introduction On 20 October 2009, 43 year‐old UK citizen Andrew Moore, who had been a permanent resident in Australia since he was 11 years old, was deported to the UK. Prior to his removal, Moore had been in immigration detention and was known to be suffering from a number of serious health problems. He was accompanied on the flight by five people, including two federal police officers, his immigration department caseworker and a doctor.
