Thank you, Senator Hanson. It's great to see you back in Australia after having had lunch with your donor Gina Rinehart in Thailand. Various people choose various people to hang out with, whether it be here in Australia or overseas. Your own question is answered by what you've asked. The report referred to a function that the Prime Minister attended that turned out to be a function with a group that we are actually taking enforcement action against, so there can be no suggestion that the Prime Minister or anyone else in our government has gone soft on anyone. No government has done more to crack down on dodgy international education providers than the Albanese government.

I think the person who's got some explaining to do is Mr Dutton. Mr Dutton's got some explaining to do about why he's saying he wants to bring back the golden ticket visa that was discredited and got rid of because it was prone to fraud and it was open to bringing in spies and criminals. Maybe you should talk to your friend Mr Dutton, Senator Hanson.
