Why migration applications are stacking up in courts right now By Farhan Rehman|19 January 2021 In Australia, immigration has been continuously used as political hyperbole, which has seemingly led a movement towards uncompromising immigration policies, writes Farhan Rehman. In my experience, Australia’s immigration system is focussed on preventing people from coming to Australia. I know that such a statement may seem like a fallacy as Australia is well promoted to be a “migrant nation”, however in the background the policies that the Department of Home Affairs implements unnecessarily make it difficult for migrants that should otherwise be eligible to remain in the country.
