My question is to the Minister for Home Affairs. On 12 February the Department of Home Affairs told Senate estimates that 149 criminals, including 7 murderers, 37 sex offenders and 72 other violent criminals, had been released from immigration detention. Seven separate government sources have told the Sydney Morning Herald the minister's office attempted to ensure the department never gave this evidence so that the explosive document would be kept hidden from the Australian public. Minister, is this true?
