Australia’s Anti-Migration Bill Threatens 80,000 Refugees: Kon Karapanagiotidis Responds
November 29, 2024This bill just passed!!
The Albanese government has a trio of migration bills before parliament to facilitate the removal of non-citizens from Australia, including paying third countries to take them and creating powers to confiscate mobile phones in detention.
Labor has been accused of trying to out-flank the former home affairs minister Peter Dutton, and even of enabling a form of “human trafficking” by the campaign group Labor for Refugees NSW.
On Monday the bills were listed to be debated on Wednesday and Guardian Australia revealed that the Coalition and Labor were closing in on a deal. On Wednesday the Coalition announced it would pass all three.
