Thank you, Mr Deputy President, for protecting me. I was saying that we will protect this country in a way that the previous government never, ever did. They never, ever protected this country. They never, ever solved this problem. And, just as they did with the issue of illegal fishing, they have left the issue of asylum seekers to us to solve, and we will. We are starting to solve it, with 22 people coming off the Oceanic Viking. We will continue to solve that problem.
