QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator BELL (New South Wales—One Nation Whip) (14:42): Australia's terrorism threat level remains 'probable', and One Nation has called for migration from 'Do not travel' countries to be stopped unless security agencies—your security agencies—can give Australians an absolute assurance of the safety of Australians. Why is Labor willing to warn Australians that countries such as Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen are unsafe to enter while still accepting migration from those same places without adopting One Nation's security test?
