The Morrison Government’s planned privatisation of Australia’s visa system faces roadblocks in parliament after the Department of Home Affairs advised that the reform would likely need to be legislated:
The timeline for the Australian government’s controversial $1 billion plus visa processing privatization project has been blown out by at least six months. The latest hitch is that a private contract will require new legislation that could be blocked in the Senate or even the lower house.
This could kill the potential project unless the Government works on ways around the need for fresh laws.
