| 'Stop Adani': protester disrupts opening of parliament – as it happened | |
| (32 minutes later) | |
| And on that note, we will wrap up the blog for the day. | |
| Tomorrow, it is all about Bob Hawke, so most of the actual parliament work will be delayed until Thursday. But it looks like the government has its tax plan ready to pass, so it’ll just have another day to lock that in. | |
| After that? Well, you saw the legislation list. And you also saw the RBA announcement. There’s some rough waters ahead. | |
| A massive thank you to Mike Bowers and the Guardian brains trust for dragging me through another day. And to all of you who messaged and commented. It means a lot. | |
| We will be back bright and early tomorrow morning - as always, take care of you. | |
| We seem to be missing one. | We seem to be missing one. |

| It allows us more time to manage individuals. When some people come back, it is very difficult to gather the evidence that would be admissible in a court of law in Australia to convict that person beyond reasonable doubt so we need to make sure that we got every tool available to us to keep Australian safe and people coming back from theMiddle East who have either been members of Islamic State or trained in the art of terrorism otherwise, they pose a very significant threat and would seem that in our own region, in Indonesia, in Europe and across North America, right around the world. This is a significant threat in the Australian Government wants to keep people safe and that’s why we think this bill should be supported on a bipartisan basis. | It allows us more time to manage individuals.

| I would say again that I don’t think any law will easily fix this, I think we should pursue laws that protect against unfair treatment, but no law will perfectly be able to deal with these issues and I think it would be better in most cases if we could get together and talk and agree and sometimes they will be differences of opinion, and there will be differences of opinion within organisation and people should coexist | I would say again that I don’t think any law will easily fix this, I think we should pursue laws that protect against unfair treatment, but no law will perfectly be able to deal with these issues and I think it would be better in most cases if we could get together and talk and agree and sometimes they will be differences of opinion, and there will be differences of opinion within organisation and people should coexist |
