Section 199A — Migration Act 1958: Reason for Subdivision

(1) This Subdivision is enacted because the Parliament expects that a removal pathway non-citizen: (a) will voluntarily leave Australia; and (b) if the non-citizen does not voluntarily leave Australia, will cooperate with steps taken under this Act for the purposes of arranging the non-citizen’s lawful removal from Australia; and (c) will not attempt to obstruct or frustrate the non-citizen’s lawful removal from Australia. (2) This Subdivision is also enacted because the Parliament expects that a foreign country will cooperate with Australia to facilitate the lawful removal from Australia of a non-citizen who is a national of that country.
