MIGRATION ACT 1958 - SECT 5K

Membership of a particular social group consisting of family

    For the purposes of the application of this Act and the regulations to a particular person (the first person ), in determining whether the first person has a well - founded fear of persecution for the reason of membership of a particular social group that consists of the first person's family:

  (a)   disregard any fear of persecution, or any persecution, that any other member or former member (whether alive or dead) of the family has ever experienced, where the reason for the fear or persecution is not a reason mentioned in paragraph   5J(1)(a); and

  (b)   disregard any fear of persecution, or any persecution, that:

  (i)   the first person has ever experienced; or

  (ii)   any other member or former member (whether alive or dead) of the family has ever experienced;

    where it is reasonable to conclude that the fear or persecution would not exist if it were assumed that the fear or persecution mentioned in paragraph   (a) had never existed.

Note:   Section   5G may be relevant for determining family relationships for the purposes of this section.
