Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has weighed in on the Muslim immigration ban debate television presenter Sonia Kruger sparked, warning that terrorists would like to stop people speaking their minds.

"We can't have thought police out there from the left or the right saying this is OK but we censor this element," he said.
