Administrative Review Tribunal and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025

Ms JORDAN-BAIRD (Gorton) (19:29): I rise to speak in support of the Administrative Review Tribunal and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025 brought forward by the Attorney-General, and I commend her for doing so. Our country's history is one of migration. With the exception of our Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander Australians, every Australian is either a migrant or of migrant descent.

I couldn't be prouder, standing in this chamber as a member of the Albanese Labor government, a government committed to strengthening the integrity of our migration system. This bill amends two pieces of legislation to ensure that the Administrative Review Tribunal, the ART, can review migration decisions efficiently and flexibly. Debate interrupted.
