Greens Senator David Shoebridge says many people would be “deeply troubled” at giving “God-like” deportation powers to Immigration Minister Andrew Giles.
The Opposition and Greens in the Senate rejected the government’s urgency with the proposed deportation bill in March and referred the laws to a parliamentary inquiry for scrutiny.
“I think many people, when you look closely at this, many people would be deeply troubled giving those kinds of God-like powers to the Immigration Minister,” Mr Shoebridge told Sky News Australia.

“Especially given how woefully inadequate the initial explanation was.
“We’ve found so many problems with them … in a brief Senate inquiry.”
