My question is to the Prime Minister. Reports have emerged that a wanted criminal wasn't arrested when he first landed in Australia and that his plane was recently searched on the tarmac but allowed to leave the country, even though an Interpol notice was in force. It's also been reported that he, in fact, got money and special treatment from Crown Casino and that ministers have lobbied Home Affairs to ensure that high rollers can fly into the country and drive to Crown Casino with a minimal amount of clearances. Can you assure the House that none of your ministers lobbied Home Affairs or its agencies on behalf of Crown Casino, which would breach your ministerial code of conduct, and can you also guarantee that no Home Affairs officials have acted improperly in these matters?
