The Seven Day Rule
Submission
to the Senate Legal and Constitutional References Committee
Inquiry into the Administration and Operation of the Migration
Act 1958
Submitted July 2005
The
submission raises concern about the “seven day rule” because of its potential to subject refugees to a series of “rolling” Temporary Protection Visas only, denying the possibility of a permanent visa. UNHCR points to that DIMIA’s
guidelines for how to interpret and apply the rule are
not sufficient.
