Prime Minister Anthony Albanese refused to reveal when his government’s rushed preventative detention legislation would produce an application which it so far has not.

“That took a long time to bring a case to bear based upon proper legal advice.

“To be very clear, I want to see applications done as soon as possible and I want to see them succeed.”
