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

I address my question to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to his comments yesterday in the House where he identified the government’s defeatist response to the surge in people smuggling, and I quote him:

… the department of immigration has … sourced some 70 demountables to increase capacity further …

Will the Prime Minister inform the House of what is his plan to stop the surge in people smuggling, rather than just giving up and sending makeshift accommodation to an already overcrowded detention centre on Christmas Island?
