I want to thank my friend the member for Wills for this really important question. I have spoken to the parliament this week about the release of the Richardson review. This is a review that was called when really significant integrity questions were raised about the history of offshore processing contracts in the Department of Home Affairs. This landmark review shows for all to see that, under the watch of the Leader of the Opposition, his department paid hundreds of millions of dollars to companies and individuals who are suspected of arms dealing, drug smuggling, undermining international sanctions on Iran, money laundering, bribery and human trafficking.
