Mr GILES (Scullin—Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs) (15:03): I thank the shadow minister for his question. I do say again, though, that the release of these individuals was required by reason of the decision of the High Court, a decision that any government would have to comply with. I say again that the management of everyone in that cohort has been subject to the expert advice of the men and women of the Community Protection Board—and that is advice that we have acted upon—a composed of trusted law enforcement officials. As I have already answered, the operational matters to which the member's question goes to— Mr Tehan: Mr Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The SPEAKER: The minister was talking about the issue raised in the question. I will listen to the member for Wannon on a point of order. Mr Tehan: It goes to relevance, Speaker. I wasn't asking the minister about operational matters; I was asking whether any of them have been charged with any offence. The public want to know the answers to these questions. The SPEAKER: It's not an opportunity to add additional words to the question. The minister will need to be directly relevant to the question. He was asked about numbers—how many—and also about the advice that he may or may not have received. Mr GILES: I was just going to the operational matters—which I was about to touch on and which I believe I have already referred to—about the conduct of Operation AEGIS and the manner in which that aspect of community protection is looked after through the work of the AFP and ABF, who are obviously responsible insofar as it relates to breaches of Commonwealth conditions, and state and territory law enforcement officials, who are responsible and who regularly provide updates on those matters when they constitute breaches of those conditions or other offences.
