A notice of motion to disallow the Migration (Fast Track Applicant Class – Temporary Protection and Safe Haven Enterprise Visa Holders) Instrument 2019 was given by Senator McKim on 3 April 2019
On 2 April 2019, we published an article on the Migration (Fast Track Applicant Class – Temporary Protection and Safe Haven Enterprise Visa Holders) Instrument 2019, which commenced that same day.
On 3 April 2019, Senator McKim (Australian Greens) gave a notice of motion to disallow the new instrument. The Parliament’s website describes motions to disallow as follows:
Section 42 of the Legislation Act 2003 provides the framework for the standard disallowance process, which is supported by standing orders. The key features are:
- within 15 sitting days after tabling a senator or member of the House of Representatives may give notice of a motion to disallow the instrument (in whole or in part);
- if the motion is agreed to, the instrument is disallowed and it then ceases to have effect;
- if a notice of motion to disallow the instrument has not been resolved or withdrawn within 15 sitting days after having been given, the instrument is deemed to have been disallowed and it ceases to have effect; and
- disallowance has the effect of repealing the instrument – if the instrument repealed all or part of an earlier instrument then disallowance also has the effect of reviving that part of the earlier instrument.
