My question is to the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs. When was the minister first informed that a serial sex offender that the Albanese government had released from immigration detention had been charged with sexual assault, stalking and two counts of unlawful assault in Victoria?

I thank the Deputy Leader of the Opposition for her question. I was informed of the arrest last evening, through appropriate law enforcement channels.
