Week 1 – Activity A 

What are your expectations of the Course?

After going through the content of the course, I have formulated some expectations that this course will acquaint me with immigration law by discussing all the interplaying factors and intricate elements that must be considered to begin comprehending the immigration law. My expectations are to get familiar and grab key essential concepts to become able to undertake self-study to facilitate in comprehending the complex immigration issues and problems. 

Have you any concerns regarding your studies?

At this point in time, I am fully committed to experience the concepts being offered by the course and do my best to fully encapsulate them for practical usage. However, I am just concerned a little that course might jump into complex concepts too quickly to allow time to formulate key essential parameters for concept development. 

Has the work you have done so far identified any areas of migration law you wish to explore further?

Yeah, after going through the reading material I have realized that separation of power concepts is a critical aspect in defining actual implementation of the law. The three core organs Australian Government formulate, define, and execute the law. Hence, it become very critical to dive deeper in to the concept of separation of power to actually understand how a law may actually shape the ontology for citizens and aliens seeking to explore Australia. 

Week 1 – Activity B

Naturalization and alien’s aspect of Section 51 attracts most of my attention when I try to evaluate the powers vested in Australian Government. There is one issue I came across is of allowing Australian Born to be Australian Citizen by default regardless if the parents are Australians or not. Presently, the world is truly globalized and with Internet the value of borders demarcations is becoming more of an administrative matter otherwise, world is molding towards allowing greater access to businesses by formulating trade unions etc. In this increasingly globalized world where people to people contacts are increasing and businesses are demanding personnel to relocated to continue proficiently managing the business hence in this regards people need feel at home. The decree for naturalization and alien for children being born in the country must be welcoming not alienating. In 1986 when the regulation was discontinued to allow children being born in Australia to gain automatic citizenship. 

Laws that can be made under this power section are, Laws must develop to allow a more diverse society to become Australian. The type of documentation process must be elaborated for subjects ranging outside of commonwealth countries. Laws like temporary protective status provide people some protection from deportation but these laws are more ethnic in nature and do not provide equality towards all. Hence, to promote equality some laws defining more clear protection allowing non-subjects to be able to get neutralised. 

Week 1 – Activity C

Immigration has recently got affected due to Covid-19 in Australia, managing director of EG Urban Planning believes Australia has overrated the virus and taken too extreme of the measures by blocking access of all the immigrants. Australia needs immigrants to actually maintain the growth rate of GDP as immigrants are indispensable to perform operative jobs and students formulate a major chunk in generating economic growth. The virus has hyped the concerns causing panic within countries blocking international access can significantly hinder the path of development on which Australia was travelling. All three arms of the government are involved in the situation where most of the responsibility is on the executive branch. The executive pillar of the government is taking most critical decisions. However, legislative and judiciary has to support the process by ensuring all decisions taken are within the parameters of the constitution. The issue illustrates on the separation of the power as laws were legislated prior to the outbreak by the legislative assembly formulated by representatives and senate. Moreover, the judiciary has the power to translate the law to explain it further for execution of power. Lastly, executive branch has to exercise the power and take effective decision by involving all the stakeholders. Furthermore, they have to priorities the issue they need to address.
