TL;DR
Iranian officials show defiance amid talk of negotiations Iranian tourists will be banned from entering Australia for the next six months after the home affairs minister, Tony Burke, triggered tough new immigration laws over concerns visitors may not be able to return to Iran. The ban could apply to more than 7,000 Iranians with valid tourist visas – though some may still be given the chance to enter the country under special consideration. The move has further enraged refugee and humanitarian advocates, who criticised the Albanese government for swiftly passing the “appalling” laws in March.
