MIGRATION LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (RETURN TO PROCEDURAL FAIRNESS) BILL 2006

 Migration Legislation Amendment (Return to Procedural Fairness) Bill
                               2006

                         Explanatory Memorandum


This Bill repeals provisions of the Migration Act 1958 inserted by the
Migration Legislation Amendment (Procedural Fairness) Act 2002, which
excluded the common law rule of procedural fairness and attempted to make it
explicit that the procedures set down in the statute are all that decision makers
must comply with.
