I am also advised that the curfew condition will be mandatorily imposed on all bridging visa holders in the NZYQ affected cohort. The condition may be lifted only if the minister determines the individual poses no community safety risk. The duration of the curfew is limited to a maximum continuous period of eight hours, with the default hours set at 10 pm to 6 am each day. The curfew limits the ability of the visa holder to depart the place at which they are ordinarily required to be during curfew hours, which would ordinarily be the person's residential address.

I'll just respond to the comments that Senator Scarr made. We're all focused on the safety of the Australian people and the safety of the Australian community. We are all focused on it, and it ought not be an issue for political division.
