Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document officially cancels two previous government notifications about data-sharing deals with Qantas and Jetstar airlines.

What it does:

Revokes Instrument IMMI 06/068 (signed October 2006) regarding Qantas Airways
Revokes Instrument IMMI 06/079 (signed January 2007) regarding Jetstar Airways

Background: The original instruments were formal notices that the government had entered agreements with these airlines to share information about passengers on international flights (known as Advance Passenger Processing, used for border security checks).

Why it matters: By revoking these notices, the Minister removes the official legal record of those specific information-sharing arrangements. This affects the legal basis under the Migration Regulations for how these airlines were required to provide passenger data to immigration authorities.
