My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the opinion of senior counsel and former Solicitor-General, David Bennett QC, that the coalition's approach to offshore processing:

… provides more protection for asylum seekers than the two Government versions and it is less likely to be the subject of complex judicial proceedings.

Given that the coalition's approach would allow offshore processing to restart immediately, will she now adopt the coalition's amendment or does she disagree with David Bennett's advice?
