Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Is the government aware that there are currently many UN mandated refugees awaiting resettlement in Indonesia and that these genuine refugees have been waiting for many months and in most cases many years for a resettlement place? Why is the government not offering these UN mandated refugees the same special deals it is giving to the queue jumpers on the Oceanic Viking?
