It does distract attention from the fact that the Leader of the Opposition, as the home affairs minister, presided over a corrupt immigration system that has been described as such in a number of reports now—a completely broken system.

On the point about where people are and monitoring, I direct the opposition to the comments from the AFP's Acting Deputy Commissioner Nicholls, who said in Senate estimates:

I don't think there's any difficulty in knowing where they are.

So, again, we have the opposition criticising AFP personnel for political gain. (Time expired)
