I thank the member for Melbourne for his question. It is a very serious topic, and it deals with the integrity not only of our gaming industry but of issues that go to law enforcement and border protection in this country. I welcome the member for Melbourne's interest in this topic.

Our government takes allegations of illegal activity very seriously. Everyone is required to abide by Australian law, and that includes casino operators, public officials, and all visitors to our country. Our law enforcement agencies are working hard to disrupt and deter criminal groups by collecting evidence and intelligence about financially motivated crime. While I can't go into the details of that—for obvious reasons, which would be known to the member—these efforts are ongoing and will continue.

In relation to the specific matters that were raised by the member, there has been nothing presented to me that would indicate there are any matters there for me to address.
