Administrative Review Tribunal and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025

Senator GREEN (Queensland—Assistant Minister for Tourism, Assistant Minister for Pacific Island Affairs and Assistant Minister for Northern Australia) (10:02): The government will not be supporting these amendments. The government maintains this power provides flexibility to respond to changes in migration case loads in a timely way. It is appropriately constrained to apply to temporary visa types and does not apply to protection visa matters.

Removing the regulation-making power would undermine the effectiveness of these reforms. As a regulation, though, it is of course disallowable by parliament, as is appropriate. The TEMPORARY CHAIR ( Senator O'Sullivan ): The question is that amendments (1) to (3) on sheet 3630 be agreed to.
