Parliament's human rights committee wants to know if stripping citizenship from terrorism suspects will in fact address national security concerns.
The committee has sought more information from the immigration minister about the draft laws before it rules whether the controversial measures breach human rights.
It wants to know if there's reason or evidence behind the bill's objective and if limits on rights are reasonable or proportionate, committee chair Philip Ruddock told the lower house on Tuesday.
