I thought it was a reasonable preamble, Mr Speaker. I want to thank the member for Moore for his question and say thank you very much to all of the members on this side of the House who have supported the tough changes that this government has made in relation to cancelling visas of noncitizens who have committed criminal offences against Australian citizens. I want to update the House on the fact that we have now cancelled 219 visas for armed robbery; 221 for theft, break and enter; 550 for assault; 54 for murder; 21 for manslaughter; 114 for rape and other sexual offences; over 200 for child pornography and child sex offences; and—this number will be of particular interest to those opposite—150 bikies. The Labor Party has an interest in bikies, as we know, because the outlaw motorcycle gang members provide the muscle for the CFMEU on building sites.
