My question is to the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Senator Evans. Yesterday in answer to my question on refugee assessment processes for the people in Tanjung Pinang detention centre, the minister said:

I highlight the fact that it is an Indonesian detention centre run by the Indonesian government. They are responsible for the persons in that detention centre, and that is true of the persons disembarked from the Oceanic Viking as well.

If this statement is correct, what deal has been done with Indonesia to provide the special treatment for those off the Oceanic Viking, as promised in the government’s letter?
