I direct my question to the Minister for Communications, Senator Mitch Fifield, representing the Minister for Law Enforcement, Angus Taylor. On 28 February the Minister for Home Affairs, Peter Dutton, met with representatives of the Shooting Industry Foundation and NIOA, Australia's largest privately owned supplier of small arms. Both NIOA and the foundation make significant donations to political parties. Were you aware that, at this meeting, Mr Dutton discussed issues of defence and national security with a gun lobby group that does not have national security clearance? Is the purpose of this advisory council to wind back the National Agreement on Firearms?
