My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister confirm in this House that all the terms of the agreement with Malaysia, written and unwritten, on a people swap have been publicly disclosed by the government? Prime Minister, were there any other matters agreed with Malaysia during the negotiations for that agreement?

We published our arrangement with Malaysia. We published the Solicitor-General's advice post the High Court case. We have made available to the Leader of the Opposition a briefing from experts. We will make available a briefing on the legislation. What we now need is the opposition to absorb the facts and to stop pretending they do not exist.
