Senator WHITTEN (Western Australia) (15:30): A report in the Australian on 18 August referred to the case of a man in his 50s, who was convicted of multiple child sex offences, having his visa cancellation overturned by the Federal Court. This is a man that, according to the tribunal records, assaulted a 16-year-old boy at a bus station, forced him to a hotel and attempted to rape him.

This was not an isolated incident. He had other convictions involving underage children. What personal action has the home affairs minister taken in response to this court decision?
