Mr GILES (Scullin—Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs) (16:13): I really do thank the shadow minister for this question and for his apparent new-found interest in legal matters, because today it's now 105 days since we offered a legal briefing on the issues going before this—105 days, and we are still counting. At the time that briefing was originally offered, they were too busy, to be fair. One of the shadow ministers was at Harvard on a study tour, another one just could not escape the Sky studios, and another was at the races. As for the 104 days since then, I really don't know what they have been doing, except we can only infer— The SPEAKER: The minister will pause. Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Members on my left will cease interjecting. I want to hear from the member for Wannon on a point of order. Mr Tehan: Relevance. The question was about how many more hardcore criminals you're going to release. Is it— The SPEAKER: Resume your seat. Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! There's far too much noise. The minister has the call. Mr GILES: He seems very well acquainted with this secret briefing! I would encourage him to be briefed on the real legal issues going to these issues so that he can make a constructive contribution to community safety. The fact that he chooses not to do so is frankly inexplicable, other than if he wants to retain some licence to free-range on issues that he knows he is in the wrong on. I can't get into the details of cases that are before the High Court, and I won't. But I will say this: the government believes that these individuals—those who are not cooperating with their removal—should be removed from Australia as a priority. While they are not, they should remain in immigration detention. This is a position we successfully defended before the Federal Court, and we will be vigorously defending this position before the High Court.
