In this Bill I intend to bring forward further amendments to the Refugee Act 1996, among which will be proposals for an accelerated procedure for dealing with certain categories of applications. My proposals will radically replace the current provisions for manifestly unfounded applications in section 12 of the Act. While the final details of this are still being worked out between my Department and the parliamentary counsel and have yet to be brought to Government, I assure Senators that oral hearings for obviously baseless claims will not feature large.
