My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Home Affairs, Senator Cash. In response to a question without notice yesterday concerning the need to prevent immigration from extremist Muslim countries, you repeatedly made it clear that the government had no intention of changing its current indiscriminate immigration policy. However, following yet another terrorist attack in Melbourne at the weekend by a Muslim so-called refugee, the Prime Minister stated: 'Radical, violent extremist Islam is the greatest threat to Australia's national security.' If the government admits the threat posed by Islam to this nation but refuses to change the current indiscriminate immigration program that allows radical, violent extremist Islamists to continue to come here, is it not wilfully refusing to protect the Australian people from this threat?
