I thank the member for her question. She refers to last night, and I assume she's referring to Senate estimates, where Mike Pezzullo was asked the following question:

Mr Pezzullo, I've just noticed some media reporting … Did the department advise against the changes to TPVs as announced today?

Mr Pezzullo: No.

No, in a word. He was asked:

Unequivocally no?

Mr Pezzullo: No … The government, I can assure you, has listened to advice and has put in place the appropriate mitigation, so the short answer … about whether the government has acted contrary to advice, I would say, is no.
