In relation to Senator Hanson-Young's question and the minister becoming aware, I will speak with the minister. In terms of what are allegations that Senator Hanson-Young has raised, I understand that the allegations that have been raised have been referred to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection for investigation. This government, as with any government, takes allegations of this nature very seriously. As I stated, they have been referred to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection for investigation, but at this stage they are allegations.
