Mr ABBOTT (Warringah—Prime Minister) (14:05): I am absolutely delighted to get a question from the Leader of the Opposition about last week's cabinet meeting, because last week's cabinet meeting made a decision—a clear decision to strengthen our national security. Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: That is enough! The member for Gorton! The Prime Minister has the call. There will be silence. Mr ABBOTT: Last week's cabinet meeting decided that this government will strip citizenship from terrorists with dual nationality. That is what we decided. We made a clear decision last week to strip citizenship from terrorists with dual nationality— An opposition member: There was nothing clear about it! Where is the bill? The SPEAKER: The member for Corio! Mr ABBOTT: —because we believe that anyone who takes a gun and a knife to an Australian because of who we are, has utterly forfeited any right to be considered as one of us. What was the Leader of the Opposition's response? The SPEAKER: The member for Wakefield! Mr ABBOTT: He said that was dog whistling—that is what he said. Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Jagajaga will desist! Mr ABBOTT: He said that stripping the citizenship from terrorists with dual nationality was dog whistling. That is what he said. We do not believe it is anything other than a very sensible approach to protecting the people of Australia. That is what it is. For the Leader of the Opposition, the alternative Prime Minister of this country, to describe as dog whistling something which is designed to protect our national security just goes to show how unfit for leadership this man really is. Mr Champion interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Wakefield is warned. Mr ABBOTT: I am pleased that the Leader of the Opposition has finally learnt what we have been saying to him for many months now—that the safety of our country is the first priority of government. I am pleased that he has so learnt that that he has repeated it twice in question time today. Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Jagajaga will desist, as will the member for Parramatta. Mr ABBOTT: What I want to hear from the Leader of the Opposition right now is his statement that, yes, he supports stripping citizenship from terrorists with dual nationality, because if he is not prepared to back that you would have to say he just does not get it when it comes to the national security of our country. Mr Thistlethwaite interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Kingsford Smith is warned. Before I call on the next question, I simply say that I know this is the Thursday of the second sitting week and behaviour is usually appalling on that day, but I am not intending to tolerate it.
