Opened the debate
Ghosh moved the questions on the circulated amendments after the allotted debate time expired. Ghosh presented the Australian Greens' amendments, which proposed adding Schedule 2 to allow transitory persons to apply for Resolution of Status visas and removing subsection 84B(13). Ghosh then presented the amendments from Senators David Pocock and Tyrrell, which sought to limit the Minister's power to exercise arrival control determinations to once per event or class, define such events as conflicts or disasters, include parents and siblings in protected relationships, and require full compensation for costs incurred by affected non-citizens.
