Peter Dutton (Dickson, Liberal Party, Leader of the Opposition) | Hansard source

I seek leave to move the following motion immediately:

That this House:

(1) notes that the first duty of a government is to keep Australians safe, and that the Government has failed this duty;

(2) further notes the Minister for Immigration's numerous failings in his response to the High Court decision in NZYQ, including failing to:

(a) keep hardcore criminals locked up;

(b) know where released detainee criminals are;

(c) prevent 18 criminals so far, committing further offences leading them to being arrested by state or territory police;

(d) conduct continuous monitoring that would prevent criminals from committing further criminal offences;

(e) place any of the released criminals into preventative detention despite seven murderers, 37 sex criminals and 72 violent offenders being at large in the community; and

(f) provide timely and accurate information to the Australian people about the nature and location of the 149 criminals at large in the community; and

(3) calls upon the Prime Minister to dismiss this incompetent Minister who has proven entirely inadequate to the task of keeping Australians safe.
