From a legal standpoint, the case highlights a perceived loophole in Australian migration law. Currently, sanctions typically target specific individuals rather than their adult children, unless those children are also personally involved in sanctioned activities. However, the public reaction suggests that the "character test" under the Migration Act should be interpreted more broadly in cases involving high-profile political figures. There are growing calls for Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke to intervene and use his discretionary powers to review the case, with some suggesting that her visa should be canceled under Section 501 of the Act if her presence is deemed contrary to the national interest.
