Foreign Minister Julie Bishop says contentious changes to visa laws are not aimed at refugees or asylum seekers already in Australia, but has not ruled out that some may be deported.
She told the ABC that the legislation would only affect the group of people processed offshore, even if they had been brought to Australia afterwards.
The changes met with Lbor reaction when highlighted One Nation's response to the announcement, telling reporters in Melbourne that the party was "telling" Mr Turnbull what to do. Mr Turnbull is more motivated about keeping One Nation and the right wing of the Liberal Party happy than he is about forming sensible policy, but Mr Shorten has not ruled out supporting the bill.
