This legislation has been four years in the making—four years! And then here you go, coming in and disrupting the business of this Senate and preventing us from scrutinising things, like important government documents, in order to jam it through as quickly as possible. There is no need for this unseemly rush. It's poor legislation anyway and, in fact, the government should have supported it being referred to a Senate inquiry so that we could make appropriate inquiries and recommendations on it. The Greens do not support this motion.
