I will let anyone go back and have a look at your question, Senator Roberts, and I think the implication is very clear about what you're trying to say and what you're trying to do. But this government, as well as fixing the migration system—that was utterly broken under Mr Dutton and the opposition—have also made very clear that we're committed to keeping the community safe from all forms of terrorism and violent extremism.

The government's focus is on addressing significant and emerging threats, such as the rise of nationalist and racist violent extremism, and the increase in radicalisation of young people. The government keeps security laws under review in light of evolving threats, including those posed by right-wing extremists, and is committed to ensuring our laws remain appropriate and effective. We've introduced a comprehensive package of reforms to protect the community from those who seek to spread hate, whoever they may be. (Time expired)
