Anthony Albanese's big headache: Trump-style deportation plan suffers major ... trends now

A committee boasting a trio of Labor senators has condemned the rush to pass Prime Minister's Anthony Albanese's  'Trump-style' immigration legislation.

The Senate Committee scrutinising bills features three Labor senators - deputy chair Raff Ciccone, Tony Sheldon and Jess Walsh - alongside two Liberals and one Greens senator.

The group quietly tabled a report on Wednesday criticising Labor's proposed migration amendment, which could prevent citizens from up to five countries from travelling to Australia - even as tourists.

But even the Labor-majority committee warned: 'It is not clear why such a power is necessary.'

The senators have now demanded Immigration Minister Andrew Giles explains his reasons for the legislation.

Among the group's primary concerns was the haste with which Labor had hoped to push the bill through Parliament during the last sitting week.

'Truncated parliamentary processes by their nature limit parliamentary scrutiny and debate,' warned the report.

'This is of particular concern in relation to bills that may seriously impact on personal rights and liberties.'

Under the proposed legislation,  the immigration minister have extraordinary powers to ban tourists from a handful of nations who do not co-operate with Australia when their citizens are deported against their will.

The committee said they had 'heightened concerns' about the minister's powers to remove lawful non-citizens who may have been granted visas in Australia.

The report found these people could be left with 'no certainty or clarity as to when a visa may be subject to a removal pathway direction'.

Labor had hoped the legislation would sail through both chambers last week, but ran into trouble when it became clear the Coalition would side with the Greens to delay it for more rigorous scrutiny.

It will now be subjected to a senate inquiry with the expectation it will return to the senate in the same week the Budget will be handed down.

The committee's report described the potential new laws as 'clearly a significant and rights-affecting matter' and noted 'it is not clear why such a power is necessary'.

'The committee notes that there has recently been a number of significant changes to the legislative framework for migration, with each such case being rapidly proposed to and passed by the Parliament outside of the normal processes.

'Such rapid changes prevent certainty in the law, which is of concern noting that the changes in this bill, as discussed in this entry, may have a significant impact on the rights and liberties of the individuals affected.'

The committee said 'legislation that may trespass on personal rights and liberties, should be subject to a high level of parliamentary scrutiny'.
