QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for the Environment and Water) (14:40): I think Senator Hanson's conclusion to the question was about steps that the government would take to stop these types of people being released on bail. Again, we're not going to intervene in the independent decisions of courts. We are going to ensure that Australian laws are as tough as they possibly can be in relation to this group of people—and they are.

We have obviously considered what further steps can be taken around these laws, and the consistent advice is that any extension of the current laws around temporary exclusion orders or anything related to it would be knocked over by the High Court. That would put the safety of Australians at greater risk. Now, Senator Hanson, I might remind you that, when this government has attempted to take steps to keep Australians safe by, for example, passing laws to deport hate preachers, the One Nation party voted against those laws.

When you've had an opportunity to stand up for Australian safety on migration matters, you've decided to vote against that. The PRESIDENT: Senator Hanson, second supplementary?
