Australia's controversial direction 99 changes to come into effect
==========
Australia's controversial immigration direction 99, which prioritized a foreign national's ties with Australia when making visa decisions, has been revoked and replaced with a new measure called direction 110. Direction 110 will give greater weight to community safety when appeals tribunals make decisions on visa cancellations. Immigration Minister Andrew Giles stated that the new direction will prioritize community protection and elevate the impact on victims of family violence. There are still 10 cases before the appeals tribunal that will be considered under the existing direction 99. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon expressed concern about the decision to overhaul Direction 99, stating that it is not right for people with no connection to New Zealand to be deported there. The New Zealand government had previously raised concerns about the deportation of Kiwis with no ties to the nation. The new measure, direction 110, will come into effect from June 21.
