Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Minister, as the government already deports immigrants who go to prison for offences against the law, and this is decided by the courts, will there be a new set of values laws just for immigrants and, if so, who will decide that those laws have been breached? Will the government also abide by the new values laws itself or will they only apply to the 42 members of parliament in Australia who have been born overseas? Isn’t this just another example of the government dog whistling and an ongoing cynical attempt to divide Australians, this time with Muslim people the victims?
