Mr President, I raise a point of order on relevance. I asked a very specific question. Given his original answer that there was no special deal done, I asked whether or not the minister was aware if the Australian government provides—either in refugee camps around the world or, in fact, in Indonesia—daily visits from Australian immigration officers, assistance from Australian officials to register with the UNHCR and a guarantee of 12 weeks from registration to resettlement. The minister is not attempting at all to provide a very clear answer to a very clear question.
