The Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) is a department of the Government of Australia that is responsible for immigration, citizenship and border control. The head of the department is the Secretary of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection, currently Michael Pezzullo, who reports to the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, currently the Hon Peter Dutton and the Assistant Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, currently Senator the Hon Michaelia Cash. ==History== The Department of Immigration and Border Protection was formed by way of an Administrative Arrangements Order issued on 18 September 2013 and replaced the majority of the functions previously performed by the former Department of Immigration and Citizenship; with the exception of most settlement and multicultural affairs programs that were assumed by the Department of Human Services. Additionally, the Australian Border Force and associated policy was assumed by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (previously managed under the authority of the Attorney-General's portfolio, a move intended to ensure stronger integration of border protection resources. The origins of the department start in 1945 when the Department of Immigration was established following World War II as Australia launched a massive immigration program. The then Minister for Immigration, Arthur Calwell promoted mass immigration with the slogan "populate or perish". Since 1945, the department's names, functions and responsibilities have changed several times. : The department is often the centre of controversy in regards to the Australian Government's policies of mandatory detention of unauthorised arrivals, the Pacific Solution, and the treatment of asylum seekers that was criticised in the Palmer and Comrie reports in 2005.〔(Palmer Report: Two Years of Progress, Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs )〕 The Rudd Labor government announced the end of mandatory detention in Australia in July 2008, unless the asylum seeker was deemed to pose a risk to the wider community, such as those who have repeatedly breached their visa conditions or those who have security or health risks. On 1 July 2015, the Migration Review Tribunal, the Refugee Review Tribunal and the Social Security Appeals Tribunal became divisions of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Amalgamated AAT - Administrative Appeals Tribunal )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Department of Immigration and Border Protection」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
