My question is to the Prime Minister. Was security advice sought from ASIO before the government made the unprecedented decision to grant tourist visas to people from the Gaza war zone?

No matter where a person comes from or what visa they hold, our security agencies are involved in the process and we trust their expertise. We take the same advice from the same security agencies as the previous government.
