Scott Morrison has missed the vote for a bill to tighten the character test for non-citizens living in Australia, with draft laws still passing the lower house.

The changes still passed through the lower house on Wednesday evening, with the vote occurring as politicians prepared for the annual Midwinter Ball at Parliament House.

Labor opposes the bill and believes the immigration minister already has the ability to do what the legislation calls for, through ministerial discretion.

'Big stick' energy laws return to parliamentThe government's revived proposal that threatens to break up power companies that are found to be raising prices unfairly has been introduced to parliament. LNP abandons fundamental tenet that market forces drive the optimal economy. ✅ 🇦🇺 Australian 🇦🇺 PM Scott John Morrison will be remembered as 'Slippery Slick, Super Stick Scott'! ✅ He's favourite sport should be Rounders (Baseball), not League, as his Govt are obsessed with swinging their political bats in every direction trying to look tough & caring! CA will support this if it's applied to all businesses. That means if passed those amendments could cause a breakup of News Corp...wouldn't that be amazing?
