My question is to the Prime Minister. I remind the Prime Minister that ASIO data confirms that people who arrive illegally by boat are more than 20 times more likely to receive a negative security clearance or qualified assessment after security checks than all other immigration cases ASIO reviews. Given this heightened level of risk among illegal boat arrivals and that these are only light-touch assessments, does the Prime Minister maintain such security assessments are satisfactory?
