I thank the coalition for amending their motion. The motion now is very similar in essence to the motion that was passed yesterday in this chamber. The suspension policy is clearly impractical. It is inhumane and the government must lift it and not reinstate it for any other national group either. It is really important that the government gets this message. I thank the coalition for removing subparagraph (b)(iii), because the Greens do not want to see the government adopt a rehashed version of the temporary protection visa system.

Question agreed to.
