Crimes and Other Legislation Amendment (Omnibus No. 1) Bill 2026

Senator GREEN (Queensland—Assistant Minister for Tourism, Assistant Minister for Pacific Island Affairs and Assistant Minister for Northern Australia) (11:57): No, Senator Cash, that's not the case. I think this legislation covers a wide, varied area of criminal law in particular. There are a lot of changes that are being proposed.

I wouldn't suggest that it's necessarily only technical matters. There have been a number of reviews that have led to some schedules in the legislation, and we are responding to that. Of course, as I've said, we'll seek to get some more information about your particular question.
