Commonwealth criminal justice entry certificate
145 Commonwealth criminal justice entry certificate
If the Minister considers that:
the temporary presence in Australia of a non‑citizen who is outside Australia is required for the purposes of:
the Extradition Act 1988; or
the International War Crimes Tribunals Act 1995; or
the International Criminal Court Act 2002; or
the Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters Act 1987; or
the administration of criminal justice in relation to an offence against a law of the Commonwealth; and
the presence of the non‑citizen in Australia for the relevant purposes would not hinder the national interest in any way to such an extent that the non‑citizen should not be present in Australia; and
satisfactory arrangements have been made to make sure that the person or organisation who wants the non‑citizen for the relevant purposes or the non‑citizen or both will meet the cost of bringing the non‑citizen to, keeping the non‑citizen in, and removing the non‑citizen from, Australia;
the Minister may give a certificate that the presence of the non‑citizen in Australia is required for the administration of criminal justice.
For the purposes of paragraph (1)(c), the cost of keeping the non‑citizen in Australia does not include the cost of immigration detention (if any).
