Mr MORRISON (Cook) (14:44): My question is to the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship. Does the minister accept that Taji Mustafa, a leader of Hizb ut-Tahrir, is a member of a political movement directed towards non-peaceful overthrow of another government, such as Israel's military destruction, or that holds extremist views that are both proscribed grounds to deny Mr Mustafa's visa on public-interest grounds under the character test, under his discretion, in section 501 of the Migration Act? The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The minister for— Opposition members interjecting— The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order! I am hesitating because I have been reading—as we have been going along—not in respect of the question but rule 101C(ii), 'questions critical of the character or conduct of other persons must be in writing.' That refers to anybody being asked a question before the parliament. I was hesitating before the Leader of the House got to his feet because I felt that the question was in breach of that standing order. Mr Albanese: Madam Deputy Speaker, on the point of order: notwithstanding the fact that the minister for immigration has indicated he is certainly willing to answer the question, I am concerned, as Leader of the House, about this. There is a reason we have a standing order on asking for legal opinions in the House. The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The Manager of Opposition Business on a point of order. Mr Pyne: Madam Deputy Speaker, a point of order on the two points that have been raised: one by yourself and one by the Leader of the House. In terms of dealing with the one from the Leader of the House, the minister is not being asked for a legal opinion, he is being asked why he has not acted within his own powers and his own discretion. In terms of your concern, if your concern were followed through for all questions and answers, Madam Deputy Speaker, but particularly questions, then virtually no question about the opposition or Campbell Newman or Barry O'Farrell or anybody else would be asked in this place. The DEPUTY SPEAKER: I think members of the public, who are not in office, and that is what the standing order refers to, to give them—if you want to read, I am referring to the standing orders. Mr Randall interjecting— The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The standing orders are the standing orders, the member for Canning. I am going to ask the member for Banks to resume his seat and for the member for Cook to read the question again, in silence, so I can hear the question. That would be helpful from all members in the chambers. Mr MORRISON: Does the minister accept that Taji Mustafa, a leader of Hizb ut-Tahrir, is a member of a political movement directed towards non-peaceful overthrow of another government—such as Israel's military destruction—or holds extremist views, that are both proscribed grounds to deny Mr Mustafa's visa on public-interest grounds under the character test, under his discretion, in section 501 of the Migration Act? To assist the House, I seek leave to table the public interest criteria I am making reference to. The DEPUTY SPEAKER: I will allow the question in respect of the minister's responsibility. I will deal with the tabling at the end of the question.
