Mr Deputy Speaker, I seek indulgence to add to an answer in question time today.

The minister has the call.

Thank you. In addition to the answer I gave earlier to the member for Stirling in question time today, where I advised that there are no other known people in detention with Interpol red notices for terrorism activities, I wish to add that there are, of course, 55 people in the immigration network in high-security detention with adverse security assessments, a fact publicly well known.
