How To Be An Immigrant

1112 Words5 Pages

Thank you for meeting with me this past week. I will provide you with my legal opinion and analysis so that you can make a qualified decision in timely manner in this situation. Firstly, I will provide you with an explanation of character test as it applies in your case and then I will give you my opinion whether Jorani has potential to get partner visa.
Any person wishing to visit, or migrate to Australia must satisfy the Department of Immigration & Border Protection (DIBP) that he/she is of good character. Most visas will require that applicant should pass certain public interest criteria set under Australian Migration Law and it is very important for visa applicant to satisfy the Minister that he/she passes the character test. Minister can refuse your visa if you do not pass the character test.
You fail the character test if you:
• have a substantial criminal record
You have substantial criminal record means that you have: o been sentenced to death or life imprisonment; or o received the sentence for 12 months or more; or o received two or more …show more content…

She has no other criminal record either before or after this incident. This incident happened seven years ago and she is ashamed about her past criminal records. She is fully aware that her reckless decisions seven years ago are now affecting her new life. She wishes that she could go back in time and do things differently.
b) The risk to the Australian community if you commit further offences or engage in other serious conduct.
Jorani is changed person now and as her police clearance certificate shows that the incident happened seven years ago. She never repeated her mistakes again and she is successfully running her business from last four years. She is fully aware of her foolish decision in past and how it is affecting her new life with her husband. She is a successful businesswoman now and she is not a risk to Australian

  • Tara Brown Murder Case Summary

    334 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the case of Tara Brown’s murder, various groups of individuals are affected. As well as maintaining principles of fair punishment and deterrence, the criminal justice system has to consider perceptions of the victim’s family (secondary victim), the community’s demand for crime prevention, and the offender’s rights to a fair court hearing. The most likely outcome is imprisonment for Lionel John Patea due to committing an indictable offence. It is important to note that if this was only a case of domestic abuse without murder, it would utilise more time, effort and expenses to come to a resolution. This is due to the different circumstances and degree of abuse that the judge has to assess.

    ‘The Tampa Decision: Examining the Australian Government’s prerogative power to detain and expel unlawful non-citizens in 2001’ The executive power of the Commonwealth has largely been neglected, both by the High Court and by commentators, receiving scant attention in comparison with the Commonwealth 's legislative and judicial powers. However, it was just fourteen years ago, in 2001, when a Norwegian cargo vessel MV Tampa being denied entry into Australia after rescuing 438 asylum seekers sparked one of the most controversial yet illuminating civil cases in Australian legal history. The result was a civil suit (Ruddock vs Vadarlis 2001) in which the Federal Government successfully appealed the initial ruling to the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia, where it was found that the government does indeed possess a prerogative power to prevent the entry of non-citizens into

    (2) A person sentenced to imprisonment to life for the crime of murder is to serve that sentence for the term of that person’s natural life.

    Australia has been labelled as the country of mateship, fair-go and tolerance, but the mistreatment of Asylum seekers in Australia denies these values. In our anthem we sing “For those who’ve come across the seas, we’ve boundless plains to share”. It ironic isn’t it? As when Asylum seekers arrive in Australia we do not offer a hand of mateship instead we use punitive matters such as sending them to mandatory detention, which shows how xenophobia is manifested in Australia (Ariyawansa,

    The USA has it’s own Immigration Laws that require “good moral character”, so if it was not his homeland, Chris Brown may have even been banned from America. Musicians such as Lily Allen and Boy George are banned from the country on grounds of violence, so such an outcome would not be surprising. Australia also has a history of non-tolerance, banning high profile and controversial characters such as rapper Tyler the Creator and champion boxer Floyd Mayweather, both relevant to the abuse of or misogyny against women. Australia should take pride in moving forward from our not so distant past of sexism and racial profiling, and accept a chance to do good and move forward to greater

    Eligibility is subject to two separate tests and both must be passed in order to qualify for legal aid in a Magistrates’ Court. The Interests of Justice test under the Criminal Justice Act 2003 enquires how serious the offence is and includes factors such as losing liberty or livelihood. In Sue’s case she would not be likely to lose any liberty due to the fact it is a speeding offence and an affordable fine is set out. If it involves interviewing, tracing or expert cross-examination of witnesses then she would be eligible, however, because it is a speeding offence often completed with machinery that is fully checked regularly this is unlikely. She does not pass the Interests of Justice test and this therefore means she is not eligible for
