Mr Tony Burke (Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for the Arts) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister and it refers to the first question asked in question time today, by the member for Solomon, when the Prime Minister failed to verify whether a report was true or not. According to that report, Afghans with valid Australian visas who protected the Australian embassy and their families, up to 1,200 people, were left to wait outside Kabul Airport, some standing in sewage, before being turned away. The Prime Minister must know whether that report is true. Will he tell the Australian people: is that report true?
