My question is to the Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs. Is the minister aware of any concerns from security or intelligence agencies about any of the 1,300 people who have arrived in Australia from the Gaza war zone?

If I understand the question, he's asking, here in the privacy of question time where no-one else is listening, that just between us we have a conversation about national security and ASIO's information. No. If you want to be irresponsible, that's on you.
