And that's an example, where I am speaking about what Australia's position is. We need—and I have consistently said this—a search for more unity and coming together for our common interest, and of not trying to play these political games, pretending the Constitution isn't there and pretending that the law isn't there, but engaging directly with people. That's how people, such as the community that fled danger and made Australia their home as refugees, can get that reassurance that we as a nation have given communities from all over the world, at least since the dismantling of the White Australia policy, which now, I would hope, is a bipartisan position. I say to the member for Riverina: I know that the Minister for Home Affairs is meeting with the community as well. That would be welcomed.
