The TLANZ Immigration and Refugee Law Committee welcomes the opportunity to submit on the Immigration (Enhanced Risk Management) Amendment Bill.
The Committee supports the underlying objective of strengthening the integrity and effectiveness of New Zealand’s immigration system. However, it raises significant concerns that several of the Bill’s proposed amendments go too far and raises issues of proportionality, fairness, operational impact, and consistency with New Zealand’s constitutional and international obligations.
In this submission, the Committee provides a detailed analysis of the Bill’s key provisions and identifies where amendments are needed to ensure the legislation achieves its objectives without undermining fundamental legal principles.
