My question is to the Prime Minister. I again refer the Prime Minister to ABC Tissues, which has allegedly breached its immigration and workplace obligations by importing unskilled Chinese workers who do not speak enough English to understand safety instructions. Does the Prime Minister recall telling this House on 20 June this year in relation to continued breaches by ABC Tissues:

All allegations are fully investigated and ... appropriate sanctions are applied ... there has been a full, prompt and, I believe, to date, unarguably an effective investigation in relation to these allegations.

Does the Prime Minister have confidence in his temporary work visas scheme when in fact another 21 visas have apparently just been granted for this site where there are serious concerns of exploitation and mistreatment?
