Administrative Review Tribunal (Miscellaneous Measures) Bill 2024

Senator SCARR (Queensland) (12:56): Obviously a result of that thorough process the Attorney has adopted is that we're here debating crucial amendments to the Administrative Review Tribunal Act, which was rushed through the Senate with inadequate scrutiny. That's why we're here today actually having that debate. Minister, as I understand it, not only will you remove the requirements through amendment (4) of sheet GF100 but you will actually extend the timeframe for individuals in immigration detention to apply for a review.

Is that correct and, if so, why?
