What does this bill do?

According to the bills digest:

The purpose of the Home Affairs Legislation Amendment (2025 Measures No. 1) Bill 2025 (the Bill) is to amend the Migration Act 1958 to expedite removal of non-citizens who are at the final stage of the removal process by clarifying that rules of natural justice do not apply in certain circumstances. The Bill also validates previous relevant visa decisions, which may have been impacted by the High Court’s decision in NZYQ v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2023] HCA 37 (NZYQ).
