Passport Refusals

(Question No. 541)


Ms Julie Bishop asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs, in writing, on 18 August 2011:

How many debtors have been refused a passport renewal under s 16(1) of the Australian Passports Act 2005, in each year since 2005.


Mr Rudd: The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:

Since 2005 one (1) debtor has been refused a passport after a competent authority made a request under subsection 16(1) of the Australian Passports Act 2005 (the Act). This was in 2011.
