Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Finance, Minister for Women, Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Vice-President of the Executive Council) (14:18): I might remind Senator Cash, because she seems to be failing to understand, that the High Court made a ruling that indefinite detention was unconstitutional, and, since that ruling, the government has been working day and night to keep the community safe, to respond to the law, to follow the decision of the High Court and to keep the community safe. Those opposite are seeking to undermine that with every question they ask. The PRESIDENT: Minister Gallagher, please resume your seat. Senator Cash? Senator Cash: Again, I have a point of order in relation to relevance. With all due respect to the minister, the last two questions have been in relation to applications for preventive detention. You can hardly say you're keeping the community safe— The PRESIDENT: Senator Cash! Senator Cash: if you haven't made one application for preventive detention, can you? The PRESIDENT: Senator Cash! Order! I will remind senators: when you make a point of order, you make your point of order, and it is not about then making a statement. I will draw the minister back to the question. Senator GALLAGHER: As I said, the government is working, alongside our security agencies, to keep the community safe, and we are implementing the laws that passed this place. As Senator Paterson said in 2021, there's a very high legal threshold to be met for a court to agree to the ongoing detention of an offender. We are doing the work, we are implementing the laws that passed this place and we are keeping the community safe and responding to a broken immigration system that Mr Dutton oversaw on all of your watch.
