This is the best summary I could come up with:


The government passed new laws two weeks ago to impose ankle monitoring bracelets and curfews on all people unless the minister decided a person did not pose a risk to the community.

"Peter Dutton did not support laws that we brought in earlier this week to make it a criminal offence for convicted paedophiles to go near schools," she told Channel Nine.

Mr Dutton was a police officer for almost a decade before entering parliament, and has built his political career on being tough on crime, with a particular focus on protecting children from child sex offenders.

"The prime minister in the parliament himself has praised me in the past for setting up the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation which has saved thousands of kids from paedophiles.

Last week the opposition successfully convinced the government to amend legislation that beefed up restrictions imposed on those released from immigration detention.

"The amendments proposed today will also strengthen the authority for the collection and use of information gathered by electronic monitoring devices," he told parliament.
