Mr President, my question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Justice, Senator Johnstone. I note Queensland's G20 legislation, which grants the police powers to conduct strip-searches to exclude people from places—that include their homes and workplaces—and to disclose personal information to foreign police forces. I also note the government's proposal to give Queensland's G20 legislation precedence over Commonwealth law at Brisbane Airport during the G20 event in November. Could the minister please advise the Senate which specific powers, granted under Queensland's G20 legislation, attracted the government to this approach?
