Editing Australian migration zone (section)

==Legal implications of excision==
At times, there has been confusion over the effect on Australia's [[sovereignty]] over the excised area. Various constitution authorities have voiced the opinion that excising territory from the migration zone does not affect Australia's sovereignty.{{cn|date=August 2019}}

The "excision" of areas from the migration zone has no effect on the rights of Australian citizens and permanent residents to travel to and remain in that area, and no documentation is required to travel between these areas and the rest of Australia. Nor is there any effect on the rights of those non-citizens who arrive in these territories with valid visas.{{cn|date=August 2019}}
