As I said, the government is working, alongside our security agencies, to keep the community safe, and we are implementing the laws that passed this place. As Senator Paterson said in 2021, there's a very high legal threshold to be met for a court to agree to the ongoing detention of an offender. We are doing the work, we are implementing the laws that passed this place and we are keeping the community safe and responding to a broken immigration system that Mr Dutton oversaw on all of your watch.
