Senator DUNIAM (Tasmania—Assistant Minister for Forestry and Fisheries and Assistant Minister for Industry Development) (15:55): Mr President, I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator DUNIAM: The government will not be supporting the motion. Whilst the government acknowledges the concerns of some temporary visa holders, decisions to grant exemptions must be balanced against the government's need to ensure Australia's health and security through Australia's border closure measures during the pandemic. Exemption requests are considered on a case-by-case basis. These measures are temporary and are reviewed regularly. Each exemption application is assessed on its own merits. The government has introduced changes to support prospective marriage visa holders, former visa holders and visa applicants unable to enter Australia due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.
