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) (10:56): I've answered that question. To go to the point you made around taking advice from the Independent National Security Legislation Monitor, we are. That review found that these powers must not be allowed to sunset.

By passing this bill, we will ensure that that does not occur, although the Greens have decided to vote against that advice.
