Direction under s198AD(5) - 15/07/2014
DIRECTION UNDER SUBSECTION 198AD(5) OF THE MIGRATION ACT 1958 (‘THE ACT’)
I, SCOTT MORRISON MP, Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, acting under subsection 198AD(5) of the Act, thinking it is in the public interest to do so:
1. revoke the direction made under subsection 198AD(5) on 29 May 2014; and
2. direct officers to take unauthorised maritime arrivals to the Republic of Nauru except where:
a.
the unauthorised maritime arrival has previously been taken to Papua
New Guinea and has been brought to Australia from Papua New Guinea as a
transitory person for the temporary purpose of undertaking medical
treatment: in this instance I direct officers to take the unauthorised
maritime arrival to Papua New Guinea when the person no longer needs to
be in Australia for the medical treatment; or
b. I direct otherwise in relation to individual unauthorised maritime arrivals.
