Kids who are sick, where the department has advised me that somebody should be deported because their tourist visa or their visa had come to an end, a grandparent who's been ripped off, a person who wanted to go overseas for a funeral—I have looked at each of those cases on their merit, and I've made decisions based on the merit of each case. I am very happy to have my record compared to the records of some of those opposite who were involved in the immigration portfolio in the great years of the Rudd-Gillard-Rudd period of government in this country. I will have my record compared to any of theirs any day of the week.
