Senator CASH (Western Australia—Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:37): I thank Senator McKim for the question. Senator McKim, I hope you would join with me in acknowledging that Australia does have a long and proud history of helping those who are most in need. In terms of the safety in particular of locally engaged employees in Afghanistan who've supported Australia's mission in Afghanistan, that is, I think you would have to acknowledge—and certainly the Minister for Foreign Affairs has done an outstanding job— The PRESIDENT: Senator McKim, a point of order? Senator McKim: The point of order is relevance. The minister is reading from a pre-prepared brief on locally engaged employees. That was most emphatically not part of the question I asked. I asked specifically about 449 visa holders. The PRESIDENT: Senator McKim, I am listening carefully to the minister's answer. She has been going for only a very short period of time. Minister, I've given Senator McKim a chance to bring you back to the question, but I am listening carefully. Senator CASH: What I was saying is that it's a high priority of the Morrison government. That is why, on 18 November 2021, the Australian government announced that the subclass 449 visas granted to Afghans who supported Australia's mission in Afghanistan, and their families, who had not yet arrived in Australia, would be extended on an ongoing basis. This includes subclass 449 holders who are certified locally engaged employees of the Department of Defence, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Australian Federal Police, and other persons who have working relationships with the Australian government. It was also announced that those outside the locally engaged employee program who were granted a subclass 449 visa that will expire are to receive priority in Australia's humanitarian and refugee intake. The PRESIDENT: Senator McKim, a supplementary question?
