Only new information to be considered in later protection visa applications
If a non‑citizen who has made: (a) an application for a protection visa, where the grant of the visa has been refused and the application has been finally determined; or (b) applications for protection visas, where the grants of the visas have been refused and the applications have been finally determined; makes a further application for a protection visa, the Minister, in considering the further application: (c) is not required to reconsider any information considered in the earlier application or an earlier application; and (d) may have regard to, and take to be correct, any decision that the Minister made about or because of that information. Note: Section 48A prevents repeat applications for protection visas in most circumstances where the applicant is in the migration zone.
