The majority voted against an amendment introduced by MP for Isaacs Mark Dreyfus, which means it failed.
Mr Dreyfus explained his amendment as:
a very simple amendment. The effect of it would be to extend the sunset date for the questioning warrant power until 7 December 2019 and to retain the existing sunset date for the questioning and detention warrant power of 7 September 2019. That's the power that's never been used.
This bill was introduced to extend the operation of certain special powers relating to suspected terrorism offences to 7 September 2020. Currently, those powers are due to sunset (that is, stop being part of our law) on 7 September 2019.
The special powers extended by this bill are the power to issue questioning warrants (QWs) and questioning and detention warrants (QDWs) in relation to suspected terrorism offences. They are extraordinary because they can be issued in relation to someone even though they are not suspected of, or charged with, any offence. In other words, these warrants are an intelligence-gathering and preventative power. Someone might be subject to these warrants because they can provide information about a potential terrorism offence and they may be detained in order to prevent them from damaging evidence or alerting someone involved in a terrorism offence that their actions are being investigated.
These powers have been extended several times since they were first introduced in 2002. More information is available in the bills digest.
Nobody rebelled against their party.
