Warnings about possible unintended consequences of Iran visitor ban

Iranians holding visitor visas will be banned from entering Australia for six months starting from Thursday, March 26. The federal government has paved the way for the restriction by passing a new law that allows the government to impose temporary restrictions on the arrival of certain categories of temporary visa holders in Australia, especially if they are from war-torn countries. Migration law experts warn the ban could set a precedent for conflicts in the future, including when a potential war between China and Taiwan breaks out.
