Universities Accord (Opening the Doors of Opportunity) Bill 2026

Senator O'SULLIVAN (Western Australia—Deputy Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate) (10:31): The coalition does not support this amendment. We said earlier that the migration powers in this bill are important and should not be in any way eroded. Let me be clear that we do not think that this amendment has any real effect as a matter of interpretation, but it sends a signal in relation to migration that we simply do not agree with, and, therefore, we will oppose it on that basis.
