Since August, judicial immunity in division 2 of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia has been called into question by a court ruling which found that judges can be personally liable for the way they conduct a case. This has had immediate negative consequences, particularly for Australian families going through the family law courts. The coalition has repeatedly called for the Attorney-General to restore the immunity of division 2 judges so that they can decide cases without fear, favour or the threat of personal liability. We welcome the government's decision to come to the table on this issue.

Question agreed to.
