I rise to speak on the Home Affairs Legislation Amendment (Miscellaneous Measures) Bill 2018.

The amendments will also make it clear that such a person will be taken never to have left the migration zone and will continue to be subject to visa application bars.</p> <p class="speaker">Barry O'Sullivan</p><p>Senator Fierravanti-Wells could I get you to resume your seat for a second. Can senators please leave the chamber quietly so that Senator Fierravanti-Wells can make a contribution.</p> <p class='motion-notice motion-notice-truncated'>Long debate text truncated.</p>
