THE VISA REPORT
Much of what follows is based on statements given by former MIA members – given at the recent Law Council of Australia’s Immigration Conference Canberra 2025 – and given under the assurance of strict anonymity
“The MIA board are big on virtual signalling as a way to distract their members and people in general from what the MIA board is truly up to – the policy or culture of the MIA board has not changed and will never change… it is corrupt and always has been!”
This from a former MIA member – the member – was a member of the MIA for many years having first joined the MIA in the early 2000s – departing in 2018 in disgust at the corruption of the board.
But to truly understand the depth of corruption of the MIA board one merely has to look at the reported behaviour of people like former President Kevin Lane. Not only was Lane a fanatically hater of immigration lawyers with a rumoured taste for young Asian boys, but also a snivelling coward with a reputation for making false accusations about perceived rivals to the police and other authorities: he was as one former MIA member described him as “a treacherous snake in the grass.“
But the most emblematic MIA member of corruption – was the Vice President Jack Ta

Similarly to how Donald Trump has coopeted and gutted the RNC (The Republican National Committee) to serve his purposes, the MIA(the migration agents lobby group) is trying to take control of the immigration lawyers committee of the Law Council of Australia.
The fact that the president of migration agents lobby group gave a speech at the recent LCA conference is alarming in of itself. (Why are the migration agents lobby group sprooking membership at immigration lawyers LCA conference?)
One has only to look at the actions of the former vice president of the MIA Jack Ta to see what the culture of the MIA board has become.
But not only this – both co-chairs of the LCA immigration committee are now MIA members.
It should also be noted that the sponsor of the recent LCA conference was sponsored by a company with very close ties to the MIA.
So, what is the problem with the MIA having control of the LCA migration committee? (Apart from the history of rampant corruption of the MIA board and the vile behaviour of the former MIA president Kevin Lane) The MIA board is driven by the bottom line (greed and exploitation of migrants & refugees). [Jack Ta former MIA vice president epitomises the MIA philosophy]
There is only upside for the MIA board to co-opt and get onboard the LCA coat-tails it give the MIA board gravitas and kudos – but what is in it for the LCA immigration lawyer committee members?
The LCA immigration committee is focused on the rule of law: the protection and promotion of rights of migrants and refugees. The building of a fairer, worlds best migration system – not fleecing naïve migrants and refugees of all they have!
It is a betrayal of the LCA membership to have the LCA co-opted by this migration agents lobby group, the MIA. (If people want to join the MIA that can join – but it is an appalling afront- and disgraceful chicanery – thrust upon the LCA immigration lawyers community to have MIA membership forced down their throats!
This stealthful co-opting – like a frog thrown into a pot of water then slowly brought to the boil – this insidious actions by the fourth columnist must be called out and stopped.
If you want to join the MIA and the corrupt bottom feeders who preyed on refugees and migrants for profit: like the former MIA president Kevin Lane and his cronies did, go a head – but if you want to do good – join the LCA immigration committee or even better join the Victorian Immigration Solicitors’ Alliance: VISA!
Either way we simply want the right to choose! Hands off the LCA immigration Lawyers committee…
So if you want a professional group that cares about the rule of law and the protection of migrant and refugee rights – Join VISA! and move up to better
