House debates Questions without Notice
Middle East: Migration

My question is to the Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs. Yesterday, the Prime Minister couldn't explain if any ministerial intervention had occurred regarding the 20 tourist visas issued to people from the terrorist controlled Gaza war zone that were cancelled and then re-instated on appeal. Will the minister finally confirm whether any representations or ministerial intervention occurred to support any of these 20 cases.
Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the House
All decisions were made by the department.
