The IAA is in the news again :)
See- it isn’t just me that thinks this supposed licensing body needs a leash on it – it really isn’t!
Lincoln Tan reports in the Herald that Immigration Watch have now written to the Attorney General asking for the law to reviewed to give us back our right to free speech. Because no matter what our MP’s claim, the IAA is restricting that freedom by using the threat of prosecution.
“These freedoms supersede and overrule any other Act of Parliament before, or after, its passing into law,” Mr Ogilvy said in his letter to the Attorney-General.
“We are asking you to report to Parliament to inquire as to what constitutes “immigration advice” in the Immigration Advisers Licensing Act.”
I hope they get further than me, because other than some woolly “you can give personal experience” from the minister, which completely contradicts the stand taken by the IAA, I can’t get a straight answer still. Given that the IAA says anything I say is illegal if its about how to Immigrate simply because I own a website or blog – its a bit silly of the Minister to ignore the problem like this.
Funnily enough the immigration Minister Dr Jonathan Coleman now says he cant comment as the situation has gone to the Attorney General. I can’t help but see that as a cop-out.
