I accept that. The Howard government, at the time, made the point that it is a thin line between stupid, extravagant language and language which is deliberately designed to incite violence or to threaten the security of the country. It is a fine line; it is a judgement call. But in terms of the immigration department's consideration of the particular gentleman and the consideration that went into his application for a visa, I am happy to take that on notice and seek advice from the immigration minister as to what consideration was given to that application.
