Thank you very much. I move that the motion relating to ISIS fighters may be moved immediately, have precedence over all other business and be determined without amendment. There is no more urgent consideration before this parliament than the safety and security of Australia and its people. It is the first responsibility of this parliament, and it's not something we can afford to kick down the road. People who left Australia to join the depraved ISIS terrorist cult have been allowed to return, and this Labor government has actively helped them despite saying it would not. These people represent a direct threat to the safety of Australians and the security of this nation. There are more of them. Thirteen men linked to ISIS and currently held in a Baghdad prison may soon be released. They may seek to return to Australia as well. They include Tareq Kamleh, also known as 'Dr Jihad'—
