Controlling the National Interest through Migration

When seeking to understand the government’s approach to migration, it is instructive to consider the extent to which the building blocks of governmental power over migration law are based on themes of exclusion. Constitution s.51(xix), the ‘naturalisation and aliens’ power, provides for federal legislative competence over migration. As the High Court affirmed in Re Patterson; Ex parte Taylor [2001] HCA 51, the aliens power is crucial to the Constitutional foundation of both the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) and the Australian Citizenship Act 1948 (Cth).
