the Minister for Justice and I went to visit some of our front-line officers to talk about the work that they are doing every day. They have increased the number of checks at our borders. They had a 75 per cent cut to cargo screening and a 25 per cent cut to sea-cargo screening under Labor; but, as we discussed yesterday, we have restored the screening at our borders. What does that mean for mums and dads across the country with teenage kids? It means that we are blocking drugs, as best we can, from coming into this country.
