| The justice minister Michael Keenan has introduced the Counter-Terrorism Legislation Amendment Bill (No. 1) 2016 to the house. | |
| This is the bill that lowers the age at which control orders can be applied to terrorism suspects from 16 to 14. It also imposes an obligation on a person subject to a requirement to wear a tracking device to maintain the tracking device in good operational order and create offences for interfering with the operation of a tracking device. | |
| It is the fifth tranche of security legislation introduced by the government. Shadow attorney general Mark Dreyfus says Labor generally supports matters of national security. | |

| Katharine Murphy has written a comment on Peter Dutton and how Malcolm Turnbull used to try to calm the debate on national security to allow trust between government and the community. | |
| Turnbull realised just how dangerous that road was and insisted on calming the conversation, which was one of his most comprehensive early achievements when he took the Liberal leadership last September. | |
| So let me honour this legacy by saying today what Turnbull, our leashed prime minister, couldn’t bring himself to say. | |
| Peter Dutton’s comments are ridiculous. | |
| The immigration minister (of all people) is suggesting Australia should have a discriminatory immigration policy, a policy that discriminates against migrants of particular ethnic or religious origin on the basis that people connected with them in the future might be involved in criminal activity. | |
| Only five seconds thought delivers the manifest absurdity of this statement. Not so much stopping the boats as stopping the grandkids. | |
| Dutton’s comments are also inflammatory. The immigration minister is prosecuting a low-grade culture war against a community which is dealing with a radicalisation problem. A real problem, not an abstract one. | |
| Radicalisation is a problem that requires trust, cooperation and clear lines of communication to be able to manage. | |
