Parliament has resumed sitting and immigration bills are on the agenda.
Immigration minister Peter Dutton is proposing a new bill which would give him executive powers to cancel anyone’s visa under any circumstance or for any reason — such as someone’s country of origin or religion.
It has drawn comparisons to Trump’s Muslim ban.
The other bill is the refugee visa ban which was held over from last year. It is unknown when debate on the bill will resume in the Senate.
The visa ban came under increasing pressure last year after it passed the lower house.
