flag Australia bans groups from entering over asylum fears, citing Middle East tensions and Iranian visa concerns.

flag Australia has introduced emergency immigration reforms allowing it to block entry for entire groups of tourists and temporary visa holders if global conflicts, like the Middle East war, suggest they may seek asylum. flag The move, prompted by concerns over Iranians with visas potentially staying, follows the granting of humanitarian visas to members of the Iranian women's soccer team. flag Exemptions apply for family members of citizens, refugees, and those with compassionate cases. flag The legislation, which aims to prevent asylum claims before arrival, has drawn criticism from advocacy groups and the Greens, who call it harsh and inconsistent, likening it to U.S. policies under Trump. flag The government seeks to pass the bill by week’s end with support from either the Coalition or the Greens.
