My question is to Minister Cash, representing the Minister for Home Affairs. Many Australians will be unaware that, since 2003, most refugees resettled in Australia come from Islamic countries in Africa and the Middle East. Refugees are overrepresented among those charged with or convicted of terrorist or terrorist related offences. A Somalian born refugee committed a terrorist act in the heart of the Melbourne CBD last week. His family are of interest to security services. President Trump has travel bans on Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. Surveys show most Australians want to ban immigration from known extremist countries. When will the government stop immigration from known extremist countries?
