Thank you for your assistance, Speaker. I say again: I'm aware of the case that the shadow minister referred to. It was a decision handed down by the AAT yesterday. It is under consideration in accordance with the national interest, as is the case. I also say that there are other cases which have been overturned by the AAT—in particular, the one the Prime Minister referred to in question time yesterday. This is the case where the now opposition leader failed to do anything after the AAT overturned a decision, and it's now alleged the individual in question went on to reoffend very, very seriously.
