Summary

Edit

The same number of senators voted for and against this motion, which means it failed. The motion was:

That the Migration Amendment (Merits Review) Regulations 2021, made under the Migration Act 1958, be disallowed [F2021L00845].

To disallow a regulation is to stop it from having any more legal force.

Tasmanian Senator Nick McKim (Greens) explained that "This instrument [that is, the Migration Amendment (Merits Review) Regulations 2021] increases fees for applications to the Migration and Refugee Division of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal."

Votes Not passed
