QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator DAVID POCOCK (Australian Capital Territory—Independent ACT Whip) (14:35): Minister, these people have waited years. Why should they have to wait? This was a commitment that we gave to them as a country.

They helped our troops, and we said that we would in turn help them. Is there a timeline on ensuring that all of them get to Australia, and will the government refer this program to the Auditor-General so that parliament can actually find out why this program has not delivered as we were promised?
