Senator Collins, what I actually did yesterday was read Mr Walker's words, word for word, to the senator who asked me the question—and I will read them again. I will read them again. And I invite you, Senator Collins, to read Mr Walker's report, because this is what he says at page 75:

Taking into account Australia’s international obligations, and the national security and counter-terrorism risks posed by Australians engaging in acts prejudicial to Australia's security, the INSLM supports the introduction of a power for the Minister for Immigration to revoke the citizenship of Australians, where to do so would not render them stateless, where the Minister is satisfied that the person has engaged in acts prejudicial to Australia's security and it is not in Australia's interests for the person to remain in Australia.

That is what Mr Walker said—in his words, not mine, word for word.
