My question is to the minister for migration. The Daily Telegraph in October 2014 reported that Young in New South Wales is the unofficial Muslim capital of the outback. With a population of 7,000, Arabic is the second language, and it is home to 400 Middle Easterners. Yesterday, Haisem Zahab from Young was arrested on allegations of assisting ISIS to develop long-range missiles. Last week, the Federation of Islamic Councils' president reportedly stated domestic violence is 'the last resort'. Will the minister listen to his own backbench and the United States and ban visa holders from North Africa and the countries between Greece and India, exempting, of course, persecuted minorities, namely Sikhs, Jews and Christians—persecuted or not!
