House debates Questions without Notice
National Security
Sussan Ley Farrer, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Women
2:09 pm
My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, has any agency expressed any concern about any individual who has arrived from the Gaza war zone since 7 October? And has any such individual had their visa cancelled?
Peter Dutton Dickson, Liberal Party, Leader of the Opposition
You're only the Prime Minister.
Milton Dick Speaker
Order! Leader of the Opposition, it is highly disorderly to—
Anthony Albanese Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister
He shouldn't get up early—it makes him grumpier than unusual!
Milton Dick Speaker
Order! The Prime Minister has the call. He's going to refer to the question.
Barnaby Joyce New England, National Party, Shadow Minister for Veterans' Affairs
You're a sook!
Anthony Albanese Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister
Can I ask that that be withdrawn?
Milton Dick Speaker
To assist the House, I'm going to invite the member for New England to withdraw.
Barnaby Joyce New England, National Party, Shadow Minister for Veterans' Affairs
I withdraw.
Milton Dick Speaker
I thank the member for New England.
Opposition members interjecting—
Order! The House will come to order. The Deputy Leader of the Opposition was heard in silence; the Prime Minister is going to be given the same courtesy.
Anthony Albanese Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister
That's one of their best on their front bench, one of their best. That question in the entire time since Federation is perhaps the most broad—'Has anyone, anywhere at any time done something to somebody?' We have exactly the same process with indeed the same director-general of the security organisation, just reappointed for five years, that they had in charge with the same rules in place, as the director-general of ASIO confirmed on Sunday and confirmed last week. The director-general of ASIO has certainly not expressed concerns to me along any of the lines which were raised by the shadow minister.
