                              Senator Bartlett

     Migration Legislation Amendment (Temporary Protection Visas Repeal)
                                  Bill 2006

This  Bill  eliminates  the  Temporary  Protection  Visa  (TPV),  which  was
introduced in November 1999 via the  Migration  Amendment  Regulations  1999
(No.12).  All Protection Visas will provide permanent residency, as was  the
case prior to 1999.
