Subject: RE: BS: Immigration and disability
On the other hand, in Australia, in the Disability Discrimination Act which outlaws most types of discrimination against people with disabilities, there is a specific exempton that protects the right to discrimninate against people with disabilities:
DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION ACT 1992 - SECT 52 Migration Neither Division 1 nor 2: (a) affect discriminatory provisions in the Migration Act 1958 or any regulation made under that Act; or (b) render unlawful anything done by a person in relation to the administration of that Act or those regulations.
Do Australian Mudcatters really feel happy about this? More especially when it is applied to break up famiies?
