Madam Speaker, plainly members opposite would rather shout than listen, so I simply make the point that this is a government which has invested an additional $1.3 billion in strengthening our police and national security agencies and this is a government which has successfully put through the parliament four tranches of improved counter-terrorist legislation. We have just appointed a Counter-Terrorism Coordinator and, within a fortnight, we will have introduced into the parliament legislation to strip terrorists who are dual nationals of their Australian citizenship. I expect members opposite to give us support on this important measure.
