Thank you. During question time today, the Minister for Immigration claimed that I want to 'bring these terrorists back into Australia'. This statement is completely false. I made a personal explanation in the House yesterday in respect of two previous similar false statements by the Prime Minister. I have clearly stated that any dual citizen taking up arms against Australia should be stripped of their citizenship. The repeated misrepresentation of my position by the government is nothing more than a cheap political smear.
