Title

Bills — Migration Legislation Amendment (The Bali Process) Bill 2012; Second Reading
Migration Legislation Amendment (The Bali Process) Bill 2012 - Second Reading - Read a second time

Description

~~<p class="speaker">John Hogg</p>~~
~~<p>The question now is that this bill be read a second time.</p>~~
The majority voted against a [http://www.openaustralia.org/senate/?gid=2012-06-28.40.27 motion] to read the bill for a [http://www.peo.gov.au/students/fact_sheets/making_law.html second time].
This means that the majority of senators do not agree with the main idea of the bill and that it will not be considered any further.
''Background to Bill''
The bill was introduced by Independent MP [http://publicwhip-test.openaustraliafoundation.org.au/mp.php?mpn=Robert_Oakeshott&mpc=Lyne&house=representatives Rob Oakeshott] in response to the High Court's decision in [http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/sinodisp/au/cases/cth/HCA/2011/32.html?query= ''Plaintiff M70/2011 v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship''] [2011] HCA 32, which put an end to the Labor Government's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysian_Solution#Immigration Malaysia Solution] policy.[1]
To this end, the bill amends the ''Migration Act 1958'' to replace the existing framework for taking offshore entry persons to another country to assess their refugee claims.[2] It also amends the ''Immigration (Guardianship of Children) Act 1946'' in relation to making and implementing any decision to remove, deport or take a non-citizen child from Australia. However, these amendments would only have effect for a period of 12 months.
By making these amendments, the bill attempts to codify the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bali_Process Bali Process] into domestic law.
