At the request of Senator Thorpe, I move:
At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate condemns and rejects legislation that grants extraordinary decision-making power to the Minister for Home Affairs that is intended to prevent black, brown, Muslim and Arab people fleeing conflict zones from entering Australia and terminates even the most basic parliamentary safeguards such as a sunset clause and scrutiny powers".
Question negatived.
I wish to note my support for that amendment.
