Leeser argued that the bill addressed operational failures in the Administrative Review Tribunal, which he attributed to the initial abolition of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. Leeser noted that the tribunal's caseload had doubled to over 131,000 cases and median processing times had increased by 22 weeks since its commencement in October 2024. Leeser supported specific amendments that expanded registrar powers to dismiss applications with no reasonable prospect of success and allowed for oral decisions in migration matters to improve efficiency. Leeser also endorsed identity verification requirements for migration applicants and the restoration of the 28-day review period for taxation decisions. However, he called for stronger annual reporting to ensure accountability and suggested further reforms to allow quick correction of obvious administrative errors in migration cases.
