Andrew Giles to Revoke 'Direction-99' Policy on June 21 to Prioritize Community Safety
Jun 7, 2024, 02:09 AM
Immigration Minister Andrew Giles has announced that the controversial 'Direction-99' policy, which made it easier for convicted criminals to stay in Australia, will be revoked on June 21. The new ministerial direction aims to strengthen the consideration of community safety in Australia's migration system. Giles emphasized that the safety of the Australian community is the Albanese Government's highest priority. The new rules for visa cancellations are designed to prioritize community safety and strengthen Australia's visa system. This move comes amid sustained pressure to end the ongoing deportation saga. Opposition leader Peter Dutton criticized the revised immigration direction, accusing the government of prioritizing New Zealand citizens and foreign-born criminals over the interests of victims in Australia.
