Senator CASH (Western Australia—Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:40): Again, Senator McKim, I hope you would acknowledge that, certainly, when it comes to the safety of those who were locally engaged employees, Australia is doing what it can. We have put in place what is a high priority for our government. In that regard, I do commend the Minister for Foreign Affairs for her involvement in this process. For evacuees who have already applied for a permanent visa, Senator McKim, such as a family, skilled or humanitarian visa, the Department of Home Affairs will continue to process that application— The PRESIDENT: Minister, resume your seat. Senator McKim on a point of order. Senator McKim: Again, Mr President, the same point of order as previously—on relevance. This question is not about evacuees, this is about any Afghan nationals who are currently in Australia on temporary visas. That was very clear in the question—very clear. I can't believe that the minister doesn't have a brief on this, by the way. The PRESIDENT: Senator McKim, you don't need to add commentary. You have brought the minister back to the question. I'm listening very carefully to the minister's answer. Minister I would remind you that there's a requirement to answer the question and I give you the call. Senator CASH: Thank you. Senator McKim, to the extent that I don't have the information you're seeking I will seek to get it. I am trying, however, to provide you with the relevant information that I do have, in particular in terms of the permanent visa pathway for Afghan refugees. As I was actually saying, Australia's migration law changed on 12 November of this year to allow Afghan evacuees in Australia who hold a subclass 449 visa to apply for an offshore humanitarian visa. The PRESIDENT: Senator McKim, a second supplementary question.
