‹ Order of Business Refugee family reunification Bill
Summary
Senator Kelleher moved to take the refugee family reunification Bill ahead of other business, arguing it was an important measure for allowing families to reunite and live in the State.
I would like to move an amendment to the Order of Business to take No. 13 before No. 1. This is a simple Bill to provide for refugees to apply for members of their families to be reunited with them and for them enter and reside in the State. Given that there are 22 million refugees worldwide and with our commitment to support 4,000 by the end of 2017, this is a very important issue I hope the House will support.
