My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to comments reported today from the detainees at the Tanjung Pinang detention centre:

We have been here seven months, and some of the boys have only now been registered … and half of the people have not been interviewed, but in less than one week (the Oceanic Viking Sri Lankans) have been interviewed and registration is going on.

Does the Prime Minister continue to deny that the guarantee to the Oceanic Viking asylum seekers that they will be resettled within four to 12 weeks is not special treatment?
