Can I just go over this. So what you are doing is trying to clear up the muddy waters in this so it is very, very clear; is that correct? I know that, in your dissenting report on the inquiry into the previous government's Migration Amendment (Strengthening the Character Test) Bill 2021, your side was saying that:

The Minister for Home Affairs already has extremely broad powers to act in this way—

that is, to cancel visas—

Section 501 of the Migration Act allows, and in some cases requires, the minister to cancel or refuse a visa …

So this is to clear this up so you are in sync with the court? Is that correct? Am I saying that correctly?
