Fed: Evans promises cultural change within immigration dept
Immigration Minister CHRIS EVANS has promised to drive cultural change within his department
.. to ensure visa applicants are dealt with appropriately.
The Commonwealth Ombudsman has released a report which studies the review rights of
unsuccessful visa applicants.
Senator EVANS says the paper shows correspondence has been unclear and confusing for
visa applicants in the past .. and his colleagues need to understand their obligations
and make informed decisions.
He says he'll insist that as a matter of urgency .. the 247 cases of people held in
immigration detention referred to by the ombudsman are settled.
