Senator 'Hanson'—before you take a point of order! Senator Hanson, at this point in time, the government has announced that it is taking further steps to modernise and strengthen counterterrorism legislation. I don't think that you can argue that this government is anything but consistent when it comes to border security and counterterrorism legislation. We believe that, at all times, you must put Australians and Australia first. We believe that the No. 1 priority of a government is to be the security of its borders and the safety of Australians. And, as I stated, the announcements that have been made of late are in relation to modernising and strengthening counterterrorism legislation. We will always put the security of Australians first.
