My question is to the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship. I refer the minister to the Premier of South Australia’s criticism of the Woodside detention centre yesterday in the South Australian parliament in which he said:

… a lack of notice, a shortage of detail and uncertainty about how the facility will impact on the local community … is fuelling community concern.

Minister, that shortage of detail includes unanswered questions such as: what would happen to these 400 asylum seekers in the event of bushfire evacuations on catastrophic days in this high fire risk area? When will the minister travel to Woodside to answer this and many other concerns of local residents?
