MARJA LUBECK (Labour): Thank you, Mr Speaker, and it's a pleasure to take a call on the Immigration (COVID-19 Response) Amendment Bill. As the chair of the Education and Workforce Committee, I would just like to run the House through the process that this bill has actually gone through. As the Minister already stated, the bill was referred to select committee on 8 April and received 168 submissions from interested groups and individuals and our select committee heard from 43 of those submitters. Many made oral submissions to the committee in person over the recent recess period, as well as over Zoom.
