The Coalition, led by Peter Dutton, pictured, says it supports the ‘policy intent’ of Labor’s deportation bill but has concerns.The Coalition, led by Peter Dutton, pictured, says it supports the ‘policy intent’ of Labor’s deportation bill but has concerns.Peter Dutton’s Coalition has called for extensive amendments to Labor’s deportation bill, including mandatory consideration of the best interests of children and diaspora communities before exercising new ministerial powers.
The Coalition is now in the box seat, able to insist on amendments and vote the bill through with the Albanese government or combine with the Greens to block it, handing a major defeat to Labor. The Coalition has not determined its final position. Amendments would also increase parliamentary oversight, requiring the minister to table documents every time they issue a removal pathway direction and specifying that any move to add visa classes to those who can receive directions can be disallowed by parliament.
The independent senator David Pocock also issued a dissenting report, calling for a new process to review people whose protection claims were assessed by the fast-track system.
