House debates Motions

Selection Committee; Suspension of Standing and Sessional Orders

Wednesday, 19 June 2013 House of Representatives

Scott Morrison

Scott Morrison Cook, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Immigration and Citizenship

11:06 am

Let me table, for the benefit of the House, the open letter to members of this parliament from the Australian Industry Group, the Business Council of Australia and the Migration Council of Australia, which have refuted the claim made up by the minister about 10,000 abuses of the system. It says:

We are greatly concerned by the lack of supporting evidence, damaging rhetoric and poor process …

This is why standing orders need to be suspended—because process and consultation have not been followed.
