The Greens oppose this amendment by the government. We believe firmly that legislation such as this, which deals with core aspects of our national security legislation, needs to have public scrutiny. National security laws and outcomes are far too important for them to be signed off in a private deal between the government and the opposition. Too much of that work in this space is done secretly. It's not the subject of debate.
