We're being asked about the resources of the Australian Border Force and the work they're doing with the Australian Federal Police. I'll tell you what the Australian Federal Police and the Australian Border Force are not doing under this government. They aren't diverting resources to pull people off boats. They aren't diverting resources to pull bodies out of the water. They aren't diverting resources to lock up children in detention.
