Thank you, Chair, again.
This is another technical amendment. The clause actually provides that pending applications for protection—I'm speaking now to the pre-removal risk assessment—they no longer have a right to the pre-removal risk assessment decision, once this clause comes into force, if the application was submitted 12 months or earlier from the time the claim was last rejected or determined to be withdrawn or abandoned.
For some clarity here, the provision actually confirms that the minister can refuse to consider a pre-removal risk assessment application that was made less than 12 months before this provision comes into force.
