Senator TYRRELL (Tasmania—Independent TAS Whip) (16:38): I move: At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate condemns and rejects legislation that grants extraordinary decision-making power to the Minister for Home Affairs that is intended to prevent people fleeing conflict zones from entering Australia and terminates even the most basic parliamentary safeguards such as a sunset clause and scrutiny powers".
