My question to the Attorney-General is a very straightforward one, and I ask that he answer it in a straightforward way. I refer the Attorney-General to the statement made by ASIO Director-General David Irvine in estimates when he stated in relation to security checks on asylum seekers that the process is a very, very light touch. Can the Attorney-General outline what the process is and why the Director-General of ASIO would describe it in such a way?
