"The Albanese government came to power with a promise to be “strong on borders
without being weak on humanity”.

But there was little humanity in parliament yesterday as the government tried
to force through some of the most draconian migration laws this country has
seen in decades. The draft legislation was distributed to MPs and introduced in
the lower house for debate just hours later.

Today, the senate stopped the bill in its tracks, referring it to a committee
instead of passing it just before a parliamentary break.

In a radical departure from the existing framework, the government is seeking
to further criminalise the migration system. The consequences could be
disastrous."
