At the end of the day, they were the party that opened the gate. This is what the now minister, Scott Morrison, is fixing. These technical amendments stop the ability of people smugglers to get away with it, essentially. They stop them from appealing to every court level in Australia. They stop them from using our judicial system and taxpayers' money to stay here. All these amendments we are going through are necessary because they have found legal circumventions to the laws that the Labor Party put in—with the help of the Greens, I will add. The Greens were in bed with them. They formed a coalition with them.
