Adam Bandt slams Labor and the Coalition government for its Allegiance to Australia bill
Here we have a Tony Abbott-era bill brought back and given life being pushed through this Parliament and this is being done sadly with the support of the Labor Opposition.
Parliament is about more than a back room deal between Labor and the Liberals. Parliament is about an opportunity to scrutinise what a government is doing when it is trying to use national security issues to gain votes.
I urge Labor to please stop rolling over to the government on this stuff because if you give them an inch they’ll take a mile.
There’s nothing that the government won’t do. They’ll talk about dual nationals now, they’ll come back for sole nationals later.
The Greens have said from the beginning that this bill will do nothing to make us safer. It has been an ideological bill from the start.
