The Australian Minister for Immigration and Border Protection is the Hon. Peter Dutton MP .

In the Government of Australia, the above Ministers administer these portfolios through the Department of Immigration and Border Protection.

Scope

The portfolio and department was created in July 1945, during the last months of World War II. Previously, immigration affairs were handled by the Minister for Home Affairs (1901–1932) and the Minister for the Interior (1932–1945), except that between January 1925 and January 1928 Reginald Wilson and Thomas Paterson were Ministers for Markets and Migration.[1]

The Minister for Immigration, Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship is usually one of the senior members of Cabinet, although between the Tenth Menzies Ministry and the Third Fraser Ministry, the post was downgraded to that of a junior minister. The minister and department have on several occasions been responsible for another portfolio in addition to immigration, such as ethnic/multicultural affairs, local government[2] or border protection.
