That is the truth. The legacy of incompetence that that man left is such that it does take some time to fix but, thanks to the biometric screening processes that this government is putting in place, something like that will never, ever occur again. You can trust the safety of this country with this government. You can trust the borders of this country with this government. We do not just spend money—we have the will. We have the will to stop this problem. Members opposite, in the end, just did not know what they wanted. They could not decide whether they were human rights lawyers or executives in charge of the security of this country. Well, we know what we are. We know that we are charged with the defence and the security of this country, and we will never let the Australian people down.
