Administrative Review Tribunal (Miscellaneous Measures) Bill 2024

Senator SCARR (Queensland) (18:58): I will repeat the question. In terms of the functions of the IAA—that was the body that was specifically tasked to deal with the massive blowout in protection visa claims that arose during the Rudd-Gillard-Rudd government—based on the evidence I ran through earlier, we're now in almost exactly the same scenario in terms of case backlog, but we don't now have the IAA to assist with processing those claims.

The IAA no longer exists to assist with processing that backlog of claims. Is that correct?
