Home Affairs withdraws directive on asylum seeker applications
On Friday morning, Home Affairs said it issued the directive to all Refugee Reception Offices (RROs) as a purely operational attempt to support implementation of the Court’s order, “without reference to, or knowledge of, the Minister of Home Affairs or any other political office-bearer”.
