Department of Home Affairs
Joint media release with the Hon Clare O’Neil MP
Community safety remains the utmost priority of the Australian Government, which is taking further action in response to the recent High Court decision we strongly opposed.
Starting well before the decision of the High Court in NZYQ v. Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs & Anor, we have been working through these complex issues to ensure community safety.
The Government will introduce and seek to pass this legislation tomorrow to further respond to the High Court’s decision.
The full implications will not be clear until the High Court has provided written reasons for their judgement, which means further legislation may be required once that judgement has been considered.
