My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the fact that Malaysia has confirmed that 30,000 nonresidents were caned between 2005 and 2010. I also refer the Prime Minister to clause 16 of the government's Malaysia swap deal document which states:

This Arrangement represents a record of the Participants intentions … but is not legally binding on the participants.

Given that the arrangement is unenforceable, how can she ensure that asylum seekers dumped in Malaysia will not be caned?
