My question is to the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Senator Evans. Given reports of overcrowding on Christmas Island, where more than 2,000 asylum seekers are currently detained, what is the current processing time for applicants? A number of asylum seekers, as we know, have been there for nine months or longer.
