QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE: TAKE NOTE OF ANSWERS
Senator HANSON (Queensland—Leader of One Nation) (15:28): I move: That the Senate take note of the answer given by the Minister representing the Minister for Home Affairs (Senator Watt) to a question without notice I asked today relating to national security. This is about the questions I asked regarding bail for the ISIS brides in Australia and hat the government was doing about possibly having 13 ISIS fighters coming back from Iraq.
He couldn't answer the question. He was absolutely hopeless. He was basically saying it's up to the courts.
The courts rely on legislation that's been put in place. We are putting forward a policy with legislation that is going to close the loopholes, but they are just not interested. He hasn't looked at it.
He said it's unconstitutional. He wouldn't even know if it's unconstitutional unless it's challenged in the High Court. So we are putting safeguards in place to protect the Australian people, but Labor just shut their eyes to it.
They're not interested. You ridicule and have a go at One Nation when you're not answering the question that I've asked on behalf of many Australian people. You need to look at good legislation.
That's why we're putting it up. Put up a debate. If you don't agree with it, tell us why.
You can't even do that. You can't even tell us why. (Time expired) Question agreed to.
