The Commonwealth shall not make any law for establishing any religion, or for imposing any religious observance, or for prohibiting the free exercise of any religion, and no religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust under the Commonwealth.

There is nothing there to say that you cannot bar someone from Australia on religious grounds.

Note:       Character test is defined by subsection (6).

         (2) The Minister may cancel a visa that has been granted to a person if:

                  (a) the Minister reasonably suspects that the person does not pass the character test; and

                  (b) the person does not satisfy the Minister that the person passes the character test.

Decision of Minister--natural justice does not apply.

(6) For the purposes of this section, a person does not pass the character test if:

                  (a) the person has a substantial criminal record (as defined by subsection (7)); or

                  (aa) the person has been convicted of an offence that was committed:

                           (i) while the person was in immigration detention; or

                           (ii) during an escape by the person from immigration detention; or

                        (iii) after the person escaped from immigration detention but before the person was taken into immigration detention again; or

               (ab) the person has been convicted of an offence against section 197A; or

                  (b) the Minister reasonably suspects:

               (ba) the Minister reasonably suspects that the person has been or is involved in conduct constituting one or more of the following:

                           (i) an offence under one or more of sections 233A to 234A (people smuggling);

                           (ii) an offence of trafficking in persons;

                        (iii) the crime of genocide, a crime against humanity, a war crime, a crime involving torture or slavery or a crime that is otherwise of serious international concern;

                        whether or not the person, or another person, has been convicted of an offence constituted by the conduct; or

                  (c) having regard to either or both of the following:

wrong. Only prohibits the government from making laws prohibiting practise of religion in Australia and does not apply to foreign citizens. You keep failing at this Brian.

and YOU are wrong. The constitution bans laws making a state religion or religiously biased laws.

Show how the Australian constitution applies to foreign citizens. Keep sticking that chin out, Lol.

try and get that brain cell back from wherever you left it. the australian constitution applies to EVERYONE IN AUSTRALIA - even when visiting.

You are staggeringly ill-informed on almost every topic. Do you think you are not subject to the laws of any country you visit? A consitution is ultimately no more than the supreme law of that country.

idiot.

It doesn't have to. It applies to the laws that the Australian Parliament passes, wally. Roll Eyes

which do not apply to foreign citizens.

So, the Migration Act doesn't apply to foreigners?

So, all Australian legislation does not apply to foreign residents then?

You really are being silly, you realise? Roll Eyes

correct. Is this had to understand? Does Indonesian law apply in Australia?
n

You really are a stupid, stupid person. Pansi-esque in fact.

Stupid argument. How many have been killed by Christian terrorists? Or Jewish terrorists? Or Buddhist terrorists?

Australia has the same amount of Buddhists and Muslims, and yet you never ever hear of any Buddhists causing trouble like Muslims. Ever travel to Lakemba, Lidcombe or Auburn? You'd swear you had just landed in Iraq.

Of course it can work. Just don't let them come. How to check? See what their religion is before being allowed to come. Middle Eastern Christians are the most persecuted people in the world, they should be allowed here but no Muslims. Their only intention in coming here is to outbreed and take over.

In August 1992, the Parliamentary Joint Standing Committee on Migration
Regulation, which had been established in 1990, published a report entitled
Australia's refugee and humanitarian system: Achieving a balance between refuge
and control.
33 As a result of that report, the Migration Reform Act 1992 (Cth) was
enacted. Under the 1992 Amending Act the visa was made the single authority
under which, for most purposes, a non-citizen could be permitted to enter into or
remain in Australia.

Quote:

n the last 20 years or so the judicial power has been invoked in the field of migration with far greater frequency than at any other time in our history. Parliament has legislated to try to confine the jurisdiction of the courts and the scope of judicial review. It is, however,a central feature of the Australian Constitution that judicial review of the exercise of power by Commonwealth officers is entrenched. It cannot be removed by statute nor side-stepped by the operation of privative clauses.

Section 116.

Thats referring to review of refugee visa, nothing to do with foreign citizens not yet in australia. if you cant get this brian then ufortunately im just going to have to conclude you are missing a chromosone.

Same principle applies - the Courts control Parliament and prevent excesses based upon mob rule. What is right is not always popular, what is popular is not always right. QED. Roll Eyes

Disclaimer for Mothra per POST so it is forever acknowledged: Saying 'Islam' or 'Muslims' doesn't mean ALL muslims. This does not target individual muslims who's opinion I am not aware of.
