My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Evans. I refer the minister to the statement made prior to the last federal election by the Prime Minister, when he said in relation to boats seeking to enter Australia illegally, ‘You’d turn them back.’ Could the minister advise how many boats, consistent with Mr Rudd’s pre-election promise, have been turned back?
