The coalition in government amended laws in relation to this area. A number of those were struck down, and the laws which are in place are the strongest laws that have been passed through parliament, with bipartisan support after consideration by the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security and after response to the High Court's various decisions. This is the legal framework that we are operating under. In relation to the capacity to exclude Australian citizens—and I again remind everybody we are discussing Australian citizens—I understand that Minister Burke has indicated publicly that one individual in this cohort has been issued a temporary exclusion order, which was made on advice from security agencies. For further details, I'd refer you to Home Affairs.
