My question is to the minister for immigration. Evidence in Senate estimates has revealed that of the 149 individuals the government has released from immigration detention—that includes seven murderers and 37 sex offenders—the minister has determined that 36 not be required to wear ankle bracelets. How many of these individuals have committed an offence?

I thank the shadow minister for his question but I have already answered this question.
