Mr Speaker, my question is for the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs. Minister, 31,000 people sought asylum in this country by sea between August 2012 and January 2014. Prior to the recent election, the ALP promised to provide permanent protection for those people who've been stranded on temporary visas for up to 10 years. It's six months today since the Albanese government was elected. When will we see an end to these punitive TPVs and SHEVs?
