Section 199A — Reason for Subdivision
199A Reason for Subdivision
(1) This Subdivision is enacted because the Parliament expects that a removal pathway non-citizen:
(a) will voluntarily leave Australia; and
(b) if the non-citizen does not voluntarily leave Australia, will cooperate with steps taken under this Act for the purposes of arranging the non-citizen’s lawful removal from Australia; and
(c) will not attempt to obstruct or frustrate the non-citizen’s lawful removal from Australia.
(2) This Subdivision is also enacted because the Parliament expects that a foreign country will cooperate with Australia to facilitate the lawful removal from Australia of a non-citizen who is a national of that country.
