The Morrison government will press ahead with new laws to give Australian security and police agencies powers to access encrypted communications, despite no agreement being reached with Labor.
The federal opposition has expressed concern about a number of elements of the draft laws and want them thoroughly considered by an inquiry before they progress.
However, Attorney-General Christian Porter said in a statement on Friday the bill would be presented for consideration by the parliament next week.
"In doing so, we will also present all reasonable amendments that have been proposed, including several by Labor, while rejecting those unreasonable propositions that would render the bill ineffective," Mr Porter said.
He said there was ample evidence the laws were necessary, and Labor needed to take a position.
Australian Federal Police chief Andrew Colvin advised the committee examining the laws that "more than 90 per cent of telecommunications being lawfully intercepted by the AFP now use some form of encryption".
"What this bill does is give police a fighting chance," Mr Colvin said.
The inquiry into the bill heard on Friday the government should tread carefully.
Technology companies raised concerns the proposed powers could erode customer trust and undermine public safety.
The intelligence and security committee is expected to have its final public hearing on Tuesday, just two days before parliament rises for the year.
