Mr HAWKE (Mitchell) (14:45): My question is to the very effective Minister for Immigration and Border Protection. Opposition members interjecting— Mr HAWKE: Wait for it! Will the minister advise the House of the importance of strong and consistent policies on border protection? The SPEAKER: The member for Mitchell will resume his seat. I cannot hear the question from the noise, but the member will desist from adding extraneous information to his question to keep the noise level down. Mr HAWKE: I am very happy to start this question again. Will the minister advise the House of the importance of strong and consistent policies on border protection? What are the consequences of taking alternative approaches on border protection?
