Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Is the minister aware that another boat arrived at Flying Fish Cove near Christmas Island yesterday? Doesn’t the fact that boats carrying suspected illegal asylum seekers continuing to arrive on our shores demonstrate that Labor has lost control of our borders? Does the minister agree with the current Prime Minister, Ms Gillard, when as opposition spokesperson on immigration she said that another boat is another policy failure?
