The Greens will likewise be opposing the opposition's amendments. I made it clear in my second reading contribution that in our view schedule 2 of this bill, which will repeal subdivision AK of the Migration Act, will provide for dual nationals to be able to lodge protection visa applications. I also made it clear that in our view this reform is a good one and, arguably, a long overdue reform to the Migration Act. On that basis it's welcomed by the Greens and we won't be supporting the opposition's attempts to strike out this schedule.
