My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Home Affairs, Senator Watt. A report in the Daily Telegraph today revealed a Palestinian man, Mr Fayez Elhasani, was granted a visa to Australia despite once hosting political members of terrorist organisations Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad at his Gaza art institute. Minister, can you confirm whether Mr Elhasani was cleared by ASIO prior to his visa being granted?
