My question is addressed to the Minister representing the Attorney-General. Is the minister aware of reports that Mr Ruhel Ahmed, a British Muslim whose story has been told in the movie Road to Guantanamo, has been banned from entering Australia due to an adverse security ruling by ASIO? Is the minister aware that Mr Ahmed has apparently been given visas to Denmark, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Kosovo, Turkey, Spain and South Africa? Can the minister explain to the Senate now exactly why Mr Ruhel Ahmed has been refused entry into Australia?
