As follows from my first answer, again, whatever information I can put on the record, I will do so as quickly as I can. Again, I will make the point that this government has a very strong track record when it comes to the cancellation of visas. We all remember, in the last term, when our old friend Mr Dutton was still the leader of the opposition, it turned out that, for all the attacks that Mr Dutton and the opposition undertook against the government regarding visa cancellations, in fact our government cancelled significantly more visas than ever occurred when Mr Dutton was the Minister for Home Affairs.

I know, for many of you, 'Mr Peter Dutton' are three words you'd rather forget and not ever hear mentioned again, but the reality is this government has had a stronger record on visa cancellations than what occurred under the coalition when they had the opportunity to take action.
