Sharman Stone (Murray, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Immigration and Citizenship) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to comments made by his Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Senator Evans, about resettlement of asylum seekers who have disembarked from the Oceanic Viking: ‘I would expect us to be taking the larger proportion of the group.’ I next refer the Prime Minister to his own comments made on radio 3AW:

The United Nations High Commissioner for refugees, working with us and working with the other resettlement countries, could send these individuals to any particular country, and we do not know where that would occur at this stage.

Prime Minister, is Australia taking the larger proportion of the group or not?
