My question is to the Prime Minister. Of the almost 3,000 visas approved for people from the terrorist controlled Gaza war zone, how many were approved by an automated process and did not involve a referral to ASIO?

I thank the member for her question, which goes to automated processes! I'm reminded of who was obsessed by automated processes when they took the humans out of human services, with catastrophic consequences for Australians. They're not concerned about the impact on real Australians that they had in government with robodebt. We will continue to be focused on the needs of Australians. We will continue to be focused on the issues that are of concern to them. I've answered many questions about these issues. They're obsessed by it. What we're focused on are the same issues that Australians are interested in.
