Mr Speaker, I was wondering whether under standing order 105(b) you could write to the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs asking why he has failed to answer questions on notice 1151, 1152, 1153, 1154, 1155, 1156, 1157, 1158, 1159, 1160, 1161, 1162, 1163, 1164, 1165, 1166, 1167, 1168, 1169, 1170, 1171, 1172, 1173 and 1174.

As the member for Bruce knows, I will certainly write today but I don't write and ask why. That's none of my business. He's done this enough times. I will certainly write on his behalf, pointing out that he's requesting an answer.
