I would like to kick off by looking at the performance of the Administrative Review Tribunal, noting the minister's reference to the desire to, through these amendments, improve the case management processes and deal with some technical issues. I want to start by looking at the case load, and this is based on the most recent statistics for the new Administrative Review Tribunal, as at 31 December 2024. When the coalition left office, the AAT tribunal had 67,720 cases on hand. At 31 December last year the new Administrative Review Tribunal, introduced by the Albanese Labor government, had 93,756 cases on hand. What went wrong?
