This ministerial submission and statement relates to the exercise of discretionary power under the Migration Act 1958, specifically section 198AE concerning unauthorised maritime arrivals (UMAs). The Minister determined that section 198AD does not apply to one UMA, meaning the individual is exempt from the requirement to be taken to a regional processing country as soon as reasonably practicable. The submission outlines recommendations, key issues, background, consultation processes, client service implications, and risk assessments, though the substantive details of these sections are heavily redacted under various FOI exemptions (sections 33, 37, 47E, 47F). The statement to Parliament formalises this ministerial discretion exercise but the specific circumstances justifying the exemption are not disclosed in the released excerpt.
