My question is—surprise!—to the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Senator Evans. I refer to the special deal offered by the Rudd Labor government to bribe asylum seekers off the Oceanic Viking. Will this same special deal now be extended to all those other asylum seekers who have been assessed as refugees by the UNHCR and who have been waiting for years in the queue?
