My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Immigration, Minister Cash. I refer the minister to the Minister for Immigration's announcement today that there will be a freeze on protection visas issued by the government. Can the minister inform the chamber of the legal advice the government has that this motive is not in breach of the Migration Act, which stipulates that once a person is found to be a refugee they must be issued a visa?
