My question is addressed to the Prime Minister. As the government considers how to persuade the 78 asylum seekers on the Oceanic Viking to leave that vessel, will the government rule out making cash payments to the people aboard for the sole purpose of seeking to induce them to leave the boat? I refer the Prime Minister to the fact that two of his ministers have been asked this question twice today and neither of them has responded with the indignation and venom that he has treated us to in the House.
