Mr President, I would like to add to an answer I gave to Senator Hanson-Young when she asked me about average processing times for asylum claims on Christmas Island. The figure, I have been advised, is now 111 days as the average. I also want to correct the record when I had a crack about the University of Newcastle doing the research. It was actually the University of Wollongong. I apologise to the authors.
