Mr TEHAN (Wannon) (14:05): My question is to the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs. On 13 November, in between releasing criminals, the minister told the House that he had 'issued visas to impacted individuals with appropriate conditions to ensure that community safety can be upheld'. Last night the Department of Home Affairs revealed it had always advised these conditions would be unenforceable. Asked why, they said, 'I think you would have to ask the ministers for an explanation.' Can the minister please explain— A government member: Time! Mr TEHAN: why he misled the House? The SPEAKER: The Leader of the House. Mr Burke: Notwithstanding the questionable nature of the start of the question, by trying to turn it into a speech, the speaking time elapsed before a question had been asked. Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! I'll hear from the Manager of Opposition Business. Mr Fletcher: It was perfectly clear what the question was. You allow plenty of latitude on the speaking times from the government, so it's appropriate that there be a bipartisan approach on this. The SPEAKER: Yes, I'll deal with this matter. I'm going to allow the question. I did hear the question, but this is the position going forward: I don't want anyone calling out 'time' again—on both sides. It happens all the time. There's got to be some discretion allowed by the chair. If people want the exact timing enforced, it will happen, but I'm going to remind all opposition questioners, and the crossbench and ministers as well, to respect the time limits.
