The federal government will move to block the release of more immigration detainees by mounting a new defence in the High Court.
Federal parliament will delay question time today so political leaders can attend the funeral of Lance Corporal Jack Fitzgibbon, the special forces soldier .The delay will enable Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and others to attend the funeral in the NSW Hunter Valley on Monday morning and return to Canberra for question time at about 3.30pm.
Parliament resumes today for a fortnight before Easter, followed by a break of six weeks before the government releases its annual budget on May 14. The delay to question time is expected to apply to the Senate as well as the House of Representatives because of the number of political leaders who may attend the funeral.Albanese consulted Dutton on the delay, which has support from both sides of parliament. Dutton will also attend the funeral.
