I thank the Leader of the Opposition for his question. Our thoughts are, of course, with the victims in this case. In saying that, of course community safety remains our highest priority as a government. I remind the Leader of the Opposition and all members that this was a visa that was cancelled and remained cancelled by my department in line with ministerial direction 99. I believe that it's a decision that should still be cancelled, and I also advise the House that I have prioritised a number of cases for urgent cancellation consideration.
