My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. The Minister for Immigration and Border Protection claims that the former Liberal Prime Minister the late Malcolm Fraser made mistakes in bringing Lebanese Muslim people into Australia in the 1970s. In question time yesterday, the minister said:

Nothing that Mr Dutton has said has in any way compromised or prejudiced that engagement, and I have had no suggestion from any of my agencies or my department to that effect.

Will the minister now correct the record and confirm that senior members of the Australian Federal Police have indeed contacted leaders of the Australian Muslim community with concerns about the impact of Minister Dutton's comments?
