I just have a question for Senator Smith, if I may. Is the understanding correct then that someone who has been involved in organ trafficking or harvesting would fail the character test with the words as they are currently written in legislation? Have we or the committee heard evidence of people having visas denied to them on the basis of character grounds because of their involvement in organ trafficking and harvesting? Have Home Affairs or the department of immigration provided any evidence that they're actually taking action with the law as it stands on this basis?
