There is a new Minister for Immigration

By Chris Johnston Updated

The new Minister for Immigration and Citizenship is the Hon Brendan O’Connor MP.

Any change of Minister for Immigration and Citizenship are interesting, because it can mean changes in  Department of Immigration and Citizenship policy.  The Minister of Immigration has the power to intervene under certain circumstances under the Migration Act, and so a change of Minister can also influence such requests for ministerial intervention.
