Senator Shoebridge, if you want to ask a question, feel free to get up on your feet or get a question up, but this is Senator Payman's question, and maybe she's entitled to an answer to the question. Our government has taken a different approach to that of the former coalition government. As I say, we've provided resolution-of-status visas for anyone with a temporary protection visa or safe haven enterprise visa before 14 February 2023 who has been found to be owed protection. That is a very different approach to what was taken by the former government. It does remain an issue for many people in our community, and it's an issue that Minister Burke is working through.
