Mr Speaker, I'll invite the minister to add to this answer, but let me just say this: in terms of intercepting drug importation, we have seen record seizures—hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars of drugs seized—and extraordinary cooperation between the AFP, Border Force, and police and security agencies overseas. We are cracking down on those drug importers on a scale never seen before, but I should say the challenge is on a scale never seen before and so we will need to do more and more. We understand that. But the combination of great policing, great investigation, great intelligence is a credit not simply to the AFP and the other agencies with which they work but also to the extra resources—intelligence, legislative and financial—that we are putting behind our effort to stamp out drug importation.
