Abstract

LAST week The Australian noted Immigration Minister Chris Evans's comment that Down syndrome was not grounds for failing the health requirement of the Migration Act. He's quite correct, in that there is no mention of Down syndrome, nor indeed of disability, in the act. Like race before it, disability has become the new unmentionable in Australian migration policy.
