Let me definitively put on the record that, when the citizenship bill does come up for debate in this place, the Nick Xenophon Team will oppose the bill in its entirety because it's fundamentally flawed and would require significant redrafting for us to consider it. The government needs to go back to the drawing board on this. As senators, it is incumbent upon us to do the job we have been elected to do, which is debate and vote on bills before us. This is part of a healthy democracy. To honour that duty, the Nick Xenophon Team will support the motion as amended to provide the government sufficient time to bring the bill on for debate and subsequent vote, thereby providing certainty to many migrants who call Australia home.
