. My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Home Affairs, Senator Fifield. Minister, documents released last week show that the former immigration minister, Mr Morrison, asked his department for ways to delay the applications of people seeking asylum in Australia. The documents show the options included asking ASIO to delay security checks and instructing the Administrative Appeals Tribunal to hear cases in a particular order to slow down processing and delay justice. Did the minister instruct or request ASIO and the AAT to act in this way? Were these instructions or requests acceded to?
