58701 (2025). Hon Phil Twyford to the Minister of Immigration: What arrangements, if any, exist for information-sharing with Australian authorities regarding travellers using the visa-waiver travel pathway from Australia for Chinese and Pacific Islands Forum country nationals?

Hon Erica Stanford: I am advised there are no specific information-sharing arrangements with Australian authorities regarding Chinese and Pacific travellers using the visa-waiver pathway from Australia. There are other information sharing arrangements that cover immigration more broadly and may include travellers using this pathway.
