Sarah Hanson-Young (SA, Australian Greens) Share this | Hansard source

by leave—I would like to remind the opposition that this is not just about the incident last week. This is a motion very similar to a motion that was put last year when the government promised to review the interception protocols and to publicly declare what they are, and of course we still have not seen them. I would have thought that the opposition would want to see this information in the public realm as well. I am surprised that they do not want to support this motion. I suggest that the government, unless they want to have an inquiry into the broader, more global aspects of what they are doing wrong in relation to immigration and asylum seeker matters, should simply support the Greens motion because it is much more specific in asking for something that they did promise to give us.

Question put:

That the motion (Senator Hanson-Young’s) be agreed to.
