My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, the government claims asylum seeker children in detention in Australia are being freed—but in fact more than half of these children are being sent to the Republic of Nauru, which is just 21 square kilometres, has a population less than 10,000 people, and a 90 per cent unemployment rate. Prime Minister, why does the government think that some kids are less precious than others?
