Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:12): That is the section that I have been referencing now in numerous questions, and no such request was made in relation to the group that you are referencing. In relation to other matters, I act as Foreign minister, under that section, on the basis of any advice provided by a competent authority, which in general is ASIO or AFP. Senator, I am not in a position—you should not ask me— The PRESIDENT: Senator Paterson? Senator Paterson: On direct relevance, President, I have asked the minister how many passports were refused or cancelled under the section of the act. The PRESIDENT: The minister is being relevant to your question, Senator Paterson. Senator WONG: The extent to which those opposite are irresponsible—that you would actually ask questions about the advice of security agencies! I act on the advice of security agencies. You have been on PJCIS. You have been on the committee, Senator. If you want a confidential briefing on classified matters, I will provide it. Opposition senators interjecting— Senator WONG: Did you hear what I said? If you want a confidential briefing on classified matters, I will provide it. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Order! That was extremely loud and disrespectful, and some of the people on my left on the front bench were louder than the minister. This is not a football match; it's the Senate.
