AAT to begin assessing visa cancellations under Direction 110

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal will begin assessing visa cancellations under Andrew Giles new Direction 110. The Immigrations Minister announced the new direction yesterday, after facing backlash for his Direction 99 which resulted in the overturning of serious criminal's visa cancellations. Minister Giles says it will prioritise community safety rather than an individual's ties to Australia. The Tribunal's interpretation of the guidelines could shape his chances of keeping his portfolio.
