Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:19): There are a number of issues there. Let me deal with the last one first. As you know, Australia—I believe with support from your party, along with other parties in this chamber—agreed last September to accept 12,000 humanitarian refugees fleeing from the Syrian conflict. We are processing those refugees in a careful and methodical way; we have begun that. The first of those refugees have arrived, as you know. We are identifying suitable candidates and subjecting them to appropriate tests, including security tests. Senator Ludlam: Mr President, I rise on a point of order. I recognise that it was a multipart question. I draw the Attorney's attention to the substance of the question: what is Australia specifically doing to resource the peace process, and can the minister confirm that only 26 refugees have in fact been settled since September? The PRESIDENT: You have then added more to your question, which we cannot allow. Attorney-General, have you finished your answer? Senator BRANDIS: No, I have not. I want to deal with one another aspect of the question, if I may. Senator Ludlam, you assert that the Royal Australian Air Force is engaged in the Syrian civil war. The Royal Australian Air Force is engaged as part of the international coalition to defeat and degrade ISIL. It is not engaged in the Syrian civil war.
