Thanks, Mr Speaker. For example, in February 2019, the AAT decided that a Congo-born man who had convictions for a sex offence involving a girl aged under 14, and for repeatedly breaching his bail conditions, should be allowed to stay in Australia. The decision cited ministerial direction 65. What did the current opposition leader do? Absolutely nothing. It's alleged that this individual then went on to reoffend. These allegations are serious in nature: domestic violence, torture, assault while armed, assault while occasioning bodily harm and deprivation of liberty. The victims were his own children, including his five-year-old son, who was left in a coma. He was arrested and is currently in remand, pending a trial. The Leader of the Opposition did nothing. This Minister for Immigration has cancelled his visa.
