There were four. I am referring specifically to the spouse of a person who was denied entry to Australia. My point is that ASIO and others should have known that. The minister is quite right when he says that not one but four people on the Oceanic Viking were subsequently refused entry. Surely that must have sent a flag to Australian authorities that there was the possibility of greater risk to all of those on board—yet no action was taken, no contingency was put in place and no protection was given.
