My question is to the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs. The Albanese government has released 149 hard-core criminals from immigration detention, including seven murderers and 37 sex offenders. On 18 November last year, the minister stated:

Ankle bracelets—electronic monitoring, I should say to be clear, is a mandatory requirement under the Bill that has come into effect today. That is across everyone in the affected cohort.

Can the minister explain why 36 of the 149 hard-core criminal he released are not wearing their mandatory ankle bracelets?
