I thank the senator for the question. I have to say it's disappointing that you took it from your question time team, because I thought that you of all people had more integrity than that. This is nothing more and nothing less than an attack on a member of parliament who has been validly elected by the people of Chisholm. In relation to the article in the Herald Sun, I say this to the Senator: under our immigration system all visa applicants' individual assessments are assessed against all legal requirements. That happens to be a fact. That is what happens. So, Senator, in answer to your question, this is all about more personal attacks on a member of parliament who has been validly elected by the people in her electorate.
