My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to his promise in 2007 that Labor’s policy is that if people are intercepted on the high seas then these vessels should be turned around. Prime Minister, with 92 boats intercepted and 4,100 unauthorised arrivals since the government weakened our border protection laws, and with reports of an imminent massive transfer of asylum seekers to the mainland, why should people believe this year’s election promises when the Prime Minister has not kept his promises from the last election?
