Hastie argued that the bill would expand Australia's participation in the US Global Entry program, allowing eligible Australians access to expedited immigration and customs channels. Hastie stated that this change would benefit frequent travellers, strengthen people-to-people links, and support business connections. Hastie linked the measure to the broader strategic context of AUKUS, noting that streamlined travel would assist military and industrial cooperation with the United States. Hastie confirmed that the Coalition supported the policy intent of the legislation to improve the travel experience for Australians.
