What I can advise you, though, Senator Lambie, is that the Prime Minister confirmed publicly in May this year that Australia had resettled two Rwandans from the United States in 2018. He also stated these people were resettled as refugees, along with other Rwandans and people from a range of other countries, under Australia's ongoing humanitarian program. Also, as the Prime Minister noted, both individuals 'were subjected to strict security and character checks'.
