Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I note the minister’s answer that this has been a ‘successful resolution’ after five years for Mohammed Sagar on Nauru. Does the minister also consider that it is a successful arrangement that Mohammed Faisal, after five years on Nauru, has become so suicidal he had to be evacuated from Nauru and now spends his days in a psychiatric hospital in Brisbane? Can the minister also answer: how long will the eight Burmese asylum seekers who are currently in Nauru be left to languish there? Will it be another five years, Minister?
