The unofficial restatement of the Refugee Act 1996 has been widely available from my Department's website for several years as the Department has been doing this work informally. It can be downloaded from the Department's website, which is a demonstration of my Department's commitment to the principles to which the Act now gives statutory effect and the Restatement Act. It also shows the spirit of Senator Tuffy's amendment has been anticipated by my Department in relation to the Refugee Act legislation.
