Mr TEHAN (Wannon) (14:44): Yes, the motion is seconded. The No. 1 priority of any government is to keep its citizens safe. We asked today three very simple questions of the minister for immigration. The first one was: Can the minister advise the House whether any of the 81 hardcore criminals released into the community following the High Court's decision last week were released into the community without a visa? No answer. The second one we asked was: The ABC has just reported that following the High Court decision the government released some of the 80 hardened criminals—including murderers, rapists and child sex offenders—into the community without a visa. Is this true? The minister refused to answer. We then asked: How many hardcore criminals released from detention got a letter from the Department of Home Affairs which said they were being released as an unlawful noncitizen? No answer. What the minister has confirmed is that at least 12 of those detainees were released into the community without visas, and that goes against the assurances he gave to the Australian public on the weekend. This is what he said on the weekend: Individuals who are required to be released as a result of the High Court's order will have appropriate visa conditions imposed on them in line with the need to protect the community. That did not happen. The ABC has reported—you would not confirm it; you would not deny it—that people were released into the community without visas. Minister, you said yesterday that you would stand up in this parliament or you would tell the Australian people how many of those hardcore criminals were rapists, were child sex offenders, were murderers. You haven't provided that information to the Australian public. The SPEAKER: Order. I'll get the member for Wannon to direct his comments through the chair. Mr TEHAN: Thank you, Speaker. Minister, you said— Government members interjecting— Mr TEHAN: Sorry. The minister said that he would provide that information. The minister said he would provide the information to the Australian people. He has not provided it. The Australian people do not know where these hardened criminals are. He has given no assurances whatsoever to the Australian public about what the conditions are on those visas. He has given no assurances to the Australian people as to what would happen if there were breaches of those visa conditions—none whatsoever. The No. 1 priority of any government is to keep the Australian people safe. We said on Monday that we would stand with the government to support legislation to keep the Australian community safe, to make sure these detainees were locked up again. Yet what we've heard from most ministers in the government is reason after reason as to why they cannot legislate. And then we find out today that they are going to legislate. Well, when? When are you going to legislate? When are you going to legislate, because all of us on this side are prepared to stay here tomorrow evening, we're prepared to stay here Friday, Saturday, Sunday to make sure that this legislation is— Mr Albanese interjecting— Mr TEHAN: We can't vote for it, Prime Minister, because there is no legislation! You've said that there would be, but we've got no sign of that legislation! How can we vote for something that isn't in the parliament? We heard on Monday all the excuses and the reasons why that legislation couldn't be here in the parliament. Now, because you're being put under pressure to do your job, we're going to see legislation brought before the parliament— Mr Dutton: Dragged kicking and screaming. Mr TEHAN: dragged kicking and screaming all the way to do it. Meanwhile, we read reports in the West Australian newspaper that those detainees were out partying—alcohol; drugs; going to and from the city—while we're waiting for you to put this legislation into place! This is a government which is asleep at the wheel in keeping the Australian public safe! You have been caught out having all the wrong priorities: not focusing on the cost of living; not focusing on keeping the community safe; allowing these hardcore criminals to roam free; not doing your job!
