                           Bill 2007

                         Explanatory Memorandum

                                Senator Bartlett

This Bill seeks to repeal the Migration Legislation Amendment Act (No.6) 2001 to
remove unjust restrictions placed on the definition of certain key terms used by the
Federal Court and the Refugee Review Tribunal in determining refugee status, which
resulted in the narrowing of eligibility for protection visas.
