Thank you, Mr Speaker. As I said earlier and as the minister has said, we gave record funding to the AFP in the last budget. We provide them with the resources they need to keep us safe. Speaking for myself and, of course, for the minister, the Attorney-General and other ministers, we are in the closest contact with the AFP. I value the advice of the AFP Commissioner, Andrew Colvin. I spend a lot of time with him and I take his advice very carefully. He knows that, when he needs the support of my government to keep Australians safe, he can always count on that support.
