ChatGPT Party Research

Very strongly agree

Yes, but only for extreme offenders like terrorists under strict judicial oversight

This reflects the specific legislative response of the Labor government in late 2023, which established a preventative detention regime for high-risk non-citizens subject to strict judicial oversight to satisfy constitutional requirements.

Strongly agree

No, they served their court-mandated sentence and should be released with strict police monitoring

This matches Labor's immediate actions following the NZYQ ruling, where the government released individuals into the community under strict conditions, including electronic monitoring and curfews, through the 'Bridging R' visa scheme.

Agree

No

Slightly agree

No, indefinite detention without a trial is a draconian human rights violation and unconstitutional overreach

Labor acknowledges the High Court's ruling on the unconstitutionality of indefinite detention, but the party generally avoids the rhetoric of 'draconian human rights violations' in favor of emphasizing community safety and legal compliance.

Disagree

Yes, public safety outweighs the civil liberties of convicted non-citizens who forfeit their right to freedom

Although Labor emphasizes public safety, the party acknowledges the High Court's decision that administrative indefinite detention is an unconstitutional overreach, moving toward judicial-led preventative detention instead.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Following the 2023 High Court ruling in NZYQ v Minister for Immigration, the Albanese Labor government accepted that indefinite administrative detention is unlawful and has shifted its policy toward supervised release and preventative detention orders.
