So I assume that the Leader of the Opposition has not had such a briefing. I'm happy to arrange such a briefing and for him to be provided with as much information as is possible. But I can tell you that the government is proud, particularly through the advice of the ADF and some of our international partners, to help settle people who are worthy of support in our country. But, to finish on this note, there are some cases where I received advice from the intelligence agencies. In those cases, acting in the national interest of our country, I would not issue that visa.
