Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : When the then home affairs minister Peter Dutton introduced the bill into parliament in December 2020, he said it was "balanced" and "fair", and that the law would "ensure that sensitive information - disclosed in confidence by law enforcement and intelligence agencies - is appropriately protected".
52% : In evidence to the intelligence committee, Graydon said the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre was "concerned that the bill privileges information from law enforcement authorities and elevates them above our courts, above our parliament's scrutiny, with no control over the quality or accuracy of this information".
