Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Given that more than 1,100 Australians have signed a petition started by me and endorsed by Dale Lapthorne calling for changes to allow the families of Australians missing overseas to be informed immediately of their disappearance, isn’t it time the government acted and listened to Australians who want this bureaucratic red tape around privacy stopped so families can be told when their loved ones are missing?
