Human rights violators, corrupt officials, and cyber hackers will be banned from visiting Australia and spending their ill-gotten gains in the country, as the Australian Parliament has approved a Magnitsky-style law.

The legislation, the Autonomous Sanctions Amendment (Thematic Sanctions) Bill 2021, was approved by the lower house of the Australian Parliament on Dec. 2.
