As I said, the powers in the current Act are subject to safeguards. The major safeguard is that the powers relating to classes of persons can only be exercised by special directions made by me, and I cannot delegate these functions. And the special directions must be tabled with the House of Representatives here in the House and are disallowable. This means they have to be made public and the special directions can be overturned. Together, these form safeguards against any Minister of Immigration using these powerful and sweeping powers in ways that Parliament did not intend when the legislation was passed.
