| Thirty excluded in Syrian intake of 12,000 because of security concerns, Dutton says – politics live | |

| Social services minister Christian Porter is speaking at Ceda. You can hear the livestream here and Scott Morrison is coming up. | |
| Education minister Simon Birmingham is answering school funding questions in estimates from Labor’s Jacinta Collins about Catholic school funding. | |
| Indi independent Cathy McGowan has won government support for a decentralisation inquiry which would inquire into: | |
| best practice approaches to regional development | |
| decentralisation of Commonwealth entities or functions, as a mechanism to increase growth and prosperity in regional areas | |
| actions of the Commonwealth that would encourage greater corporate decentralisation and what can be learned from corporate decentralisation approaches. | |
| This has just passed the house. | |
| The point to this is to try to get a plan wrapped around the one off decisions like Barnaby Joyce moving the pesticides regulator APVMA to his electorate of New England. | |
| Separate to this, deputy Nationals leader Fiona Nash has already called for all ministers to report back to Cabinet on which of their departments, entities or functions are suitable for relocation to a regional area by August. | |
| Labor’s Stephen Jones spoke to the motion which I will have to catch up on later, as he was speaking at the same time as the Dutton. | |

| The Abbott editorial went a step further, calling for special courts for terrorists. | |
| There is another massive problem that was beyond the Coroner’s remit: What to do about returning jihadis? | |
| The only safe jihadi is one who’s been lawfully killed, lawfully imprisoned, or thoroughly converted from Islamism. | |
| The government has stripped dual national terrorists of their right to return. We need to find ways to keep all the others out of the country or in jail. | |
| The government has made it an offence to travel to designated terrorist zones, without lawful cause. We need to ensure every returning jihadi can readily be charged and convicted, possibly through the creation of special courts that can hear evidence that may not normally be admissible. | |

| Peter Dutton: pick a fight with Duncan and you pick a fight with me | |
| Tony Abbott has doubled down in his criticism of Islam without mentioning Asio boss Duncan Lewis while making everyone remember Duncan Lewis. | |
| The root cause of this disorder is not mental illness, poverty, Islamophobia or Western foreign policy. | |
| It’s in the Koran, which too many people take literally. | |
| Immigration minister Peter Dutton speaks after the Hadley interview. He is more clearly backing Lewis away from the Hadley editorialising. | |
| If people want to criticise this government in relation to the refugee program, criticise me. I’m the person in charge of this portfolio. | |
| But I don’t get too much criticism in terms of people sayingI need to hard up or take a tougher stance in relation to security checks. I conduct the program in away that I think is of benefit to our country. | |
| I’ve cancelled a record number of visas of people who have done the wrong thing, committed offences or crimes againstAustralians. | |
| Regularly I’m criticised by many of the left-wing media outlets for being too tough in relation to decisions around visas and I’m not going to change that approach. | |
| Our problem is with people of any background, whether they are born here or when they come here, who are radicalised and go out and commit these offences. | |
