My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Home Affairs, Senator Murray Watt. Recent reporting suggests the Australian government may be negotiating an enhanced border security partnership with the United States which could allow US agencies, including ICE, access to Australians' biometric data and identity records as a condition of maintaining access to the visa waiver program. Can the minister confirm whether the Albanese government has agreed to share Australians' biometric information, including facial images, fingerprints or identity document data, with the United States government?
