The government will not be supporting this motion as we consider it to be redundant. The opposition will be receiving a copy of the review. This fact has been outlined to both the shadow minister for immigration and border protection and the member for Kingsford Smith, who have both received a full confidential briefing on Operation Sovereign Borders and are therefore aware of the imperative for operational security.
Question agreed to.
