[5]        While not relevant to this Bill, new subsection 173(2) of the Migration Act is a clarifying amendment. The proposed amendment puts beyond doubt that a non-citizen child born in Australia who, under section 78, is taken to have been granted a visa or visas at the time of his or her birth, is not to be taken to have entered Australia in a way that contravenes section 43 of the Act resulting in the visa issued at birth ceasing to be in effect.

[6]        The Migration Amendment (Visa Integrity) Bill 2006 was introduced into the Senate on 21 June 2006 and the second reading debate was adjourned on that date. The committee tabled its report on the Migration Amendment (Visa Integrity) Bill 2006 on 11 September 2006.
