Australia: Refugee Review Tribunal

The Refugee Review Tribunal was a statutory body which provided a final, independent, merits review of decisions made by the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship or, in practice, by officers of the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC), acting as delegates of the Minister, to refuse to grant protection visas to non-citizens within Australia, or to cancel protection visas held by non-citizens in Australia. The Tribunal was established in 1993 under Part 7 of the Act and replaced the Refugee Status Review Committee (RSRC). On 1 July 2015 the Refugee Review Tribunal was amalgamated into the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. Website: www.aat.gov.au/

China: I would like to get up-to-date information on the application of family planning regulations in Shandong province, firstly in relation to the impact on parents who have breached the family planning regulations and secondly in relation to the impact on the children. For example, in relation to the parents: 1. What are the penalties imposed on parents for having out-of-plan children? 2. Are these penalties imposed in practice? 3. Is there any procedure for having them waived / reduced? 4. Would the fact that the children have been born outside of China make any difference to action taken against the parents? (NB. These parents did not come to Australia as students). In relation to the child: 5. Could she get registration? 6. If so, would she suffer any penalty for having been born out-of-plan? 7. If she was considered a "black child", what would be the impact of being unregistered on her access to education, health care and so forth? 8. Any other information of relevance would be appreciated 7 September 2005 \| Publisher: Australia: Refugee Review Tribunal \| Document type: Query Responses
