One Nation's permanent terror-exclusion bill targets a gap the government admits it can't fill
One Nation's bill would let the home affairs minister seek federal court orders permanently barring citizens with terrorist links from returning to Australia. Existing law allows only two-year exclusions. The Albanese government concedes it lacks permanent-blocking power but says the bill "would last about 30 seconds in the high court." The Coalition backs the proposal and wants a Senate committee review.
