Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Bret Walker SC has said the government's intention to put the sole power to decide citizenship in the hands of minister Peter Dutton is 'constitutionally unthinkable' and a misreading of his advice. Given that it is a minister's job to be popular but a judge's job to be right, how can the Australian people trust any government which wants to bypass the courts?
