Mr Speaker, under standing order 105(b), I rise to inform you that my question in writing No. 431, dated 27 November 2008, which is seven months ago, to the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship has not been answered. As this exceeds the 60-day limit for response I ask that you write to the minister and request that the answer be provided immediately.

Under standing order 105(b), I indicate to the member for Murray that I will take appropriate action, and I apologise that I did not seek questions to me before the personal explanations as I am required.
