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

Senator SHOEBRIDGE (New South Wales) (10:47): But the government's had the INSLM review for more than 12 months, and the INSLM said that these powers have been used very rarely, but there are circumstances where, in the INSLM's opinion, they were appropriate. But the INSLM also said they should not continue without a whole series of additional safeguards. Now, does the government still support the INSLM's recommendations for safeguards of these powers?

Is that still the government's position, or have you changed your position—because this bill puts no safeguards in. It just totally ignores all of those parts of the INSLM's report. Is it still the government's position to support those safeguards?
