Multiple Labor groups raise concerns over government’s migration bill

Young Labor Left NSW has become the latest group to criticise the government’s proposed changes to the Migration Amendment Bill. The Young Labor Left group argued the emergency legislation is "flawed" and in breach of the ALP National Platform. It comes after Labor for Refugees NSW/ACT raised serious human rights concerns on the bill on Thursday. The submission to a Senate inquiry into the legislation, authored by Young Labor Left NSW, said: “The youth party refuse to co-sign on the government’s attempt to ram through sweeping powers to punish potentially hundreds of refugees and non-citizens”. The Senate committee on Monday will hold its first hearing on the migration bill.
