My question is to the Prime Minister and I refer him to the recent comments of the Sri Lankan Ambassador to the UN, Palitha Kohona:

If the pull factors are addressed, attempts to enter Australia will cease. The lucky country is a magnet and many will seek to enter it.

When will the Prime Minister stop seeking to offload responsibility to other countries for the surge in Australia of unauthorised arrivals and recognise the need to restore strength and integrity to Australia’s border protection laws?
