I think our colleagues would say that the level of service and the administrative burden that an appeal process places on the client is not helpful. I don't want to put words in their mouths, but I think that in both the U.K. and Australia the appeal system has room to improve. In the next week or so, changes to the appeal process are expected to come into place. The U.K. has just legislated to limit the right of appeal for certain family members. This would eliminate the right of appeal for people who are planning to visit an uncle, aunt, niece, nephew, or cousin. I think they found this too broad and quite expensive. In Australia, the time delays are not helpful for individuals who want to come for a family event.
From our perspective, the ability to reapply, as well as the opportunity to use the TRP, outweighs the cost and implications of setting up a new arm of government to provide that sort of administrative review.
