Mr BOWEN (McMahon—Minister for Immigration and Citizenship) (14:48): I am very happy to take that question from the member for Cook. It goes to my powers under the Migration Act in relation to the character test and the public-interest test. In relation to that test I refer the honourable member to my previous answer, which outlined the fact that this is not a proscribed organisation. In relation to the views of that individual, every member of this House would have very strong views about the position taken by that individual. Mr Pyne: Madam Deputy Speaker, on a point of order: the question was not about proscribed organisations, it was about his own discretion. For that reason, he is not being relevant to the question. The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The minister is being relevant to the question. Mr BOWEN: In relation to the minister's personal powers, these are to be exercised appropriately and carefully. For the information of the House, I have personally considered the character test on 38 occasions during my time as minister for immigration and on 27 of those occasions I have taken the decision to cancel or refuse a visa. It is a parallel exercise with due care and diligence and the member for Cook might like to get a reminder from the member for Menzies about what happens when a minister does not do that. The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Leader of the House, was leave granted to table the document? Mr Albanese: No, leave is not granted. I table the press release from the Prime Minister, on 10 October 2007, supporting the Pacific Highway duplication by 2016, with matching financial commitment from New South Wales. The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The minister has resumed his seat. The Leader of the House has declined to give leave. Honourable members interjecting— The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order! There is a great deal of puerile behaviour that goes on in this place.
