The Coalition supports the ‘intent’ of the proposed laws surrounding immigration detention

Shadow Immigration Minister Dan Tehan discusses the Albanese government’s tougher immigration detention laws. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese hopes the government’s tougher immigration detention laws will pass when parliament resumes next week. A Senate inquiry recommended the parliament pass a bill granting the government powers to jail non-citizens resisting deportation and block visa applications from specific countries. “We support the intent of the bill,” Mr Tehan told Sky News Australia. “We’ve put forward 17 recommendations to improve the bill.” “We will not follow the government’s approach to immigration and border security, which is chaotic, botched, hopeless, hapless.”
