Senate blocks a rush on new immigration powers ❌🏛️. The bill aimed to streamline deportations was stopped in its tracks by the Greens, crossbench, and Coalition. Now, it's heading to a Senate legal committee for a thorough review 📜🔍, with a report due by May 7.
This move comes amidst a High Court case that could lead to the release of immigration detainees into the community, following a precedent that saw 150 people released 🗝️👥. Tensions rise as Senator Gallagher criticizes the opposition for not 'keeping Australians safe' 🇦🇺⚖️, while Greens senator Faruqi condemns the political point-scoring at the expense of human suffering 😔💔.
The debate heats up as the High Court gears up to hear the case of ASF17, an Iranian man facing potential persecution if deported, in mid-April 🇮🇷👨⚖️.
With claims of 'god-like' powers being handed to ministers, it's a controversial moment for Australian politics 🚨🇦🇺. #ImmigrationReform #AustralianPolitics #HumanRights
