I will seek some advice on notice from the immigration minister and report back to the Senate about this particular individual, as I think I made clear in my first response. The government, all sides of this chamber and, I think, the great majority of Australians were appalled by the violence at the protest in Sydney. We all agree there is no place for that in Australian society. Some of the images, particularly of the young girl holding up that placard, were deeply disturbing and certainly not something we would want to see in Australia. But as to the individual and his contribution to any of this, I am happy to take that on notice and get some advice for the Senate.
