Mr Tony Burke (Watson, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the House) Share this | Hansard source

So the guarantee that this government gives and the guarantee of confidence in our security agencies is the same guarantee the Leader of the Opposition would have given when he let in, on visitor visas, 4,994 people from an Iraq controlled by Islamic State, described by the people who then stood here as a 'death cult'. It is the same guarantee that the Leader of the Opposition would have given, when he held my job, about 1,505 people he let in from Syria on visitor visas and the same guarantee the Leader of the Opposition would have given with respect to 864 people who came here from the Palestinian territories.

If you want to be on this side of the chamber and you don't have confidence in our security agencies, say so, because this government has confidence in our security agencies, and those opposite are now wanting to demand a whole lot of examples on which, tested against their record, they would fail dismally, every single time.
