I thank the honourable member for North Sydney for his question and his passion, which we all share, for keeping our country as safe as possible. It is the case that this government has cancelled a record number of visas of non-citizens. They are people who were involved in all sorts of crimes, there is no question about that. There has been a dramatic increase over the last 12 months, particularly compared to the last 12 months that Labor was in government.

It is indisputable, of course, that there are significant links between the CFMEU and outlaw motorcycle gang members.
