Senator McKIM (Tasmania) (14:38): My question is to the Attorney-General. Attorney, the Labor Party has fallen into its standard zombie shuffle by falling in behind the government on the continued erosion of civil and human rights in Australia by indicating that it will support your deeply flawed Australian Citizenship (Allegiance to Australia) Amendment Bill. Senator Wong: You've voted with them on a whole range of things. Senator McKIM: I have hit a nerve. Do you accept that the amendments to the bill recommended by the Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security do no more than sand a few rough edges off the legislation and that the bill remains fundamentally flawed due to its retrospectivity and its abrogation of the rule of law? On what basis do you believe it acceptable to strip citizenship from Australian nationals without providing for that decision to be either made by the courts or tested in the courts before it is made?
