Mr Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The minister is misrepresenting what I said. At no time did I say that foreign seamen were wandering around in secured areas. I said that their presence and the lack of scrutiny of their credentials prior to their ships berthing in Australia and circumnavigating Australia was the issue rather than the issue of them walking around secured areas.
