My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister guarantee that no individual who participated in or supported the 7 October Hamas terror attacks—the worst mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust—has been granted a visa by his government?

I refer to previous answers. We have exactly the same security arrangements that were in place when you were in government, when the leader of the Liberal Party was the minister for immigration. I have confidence in the work that our security agencies do. They work their guts out to keep us safe. If you do not have confidence, you should have objected when we reappointed the leadership of our security agency recently.
