Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I refer again to the Prime Minister’s statement that governments should do everything in their power to honour their election promises. Given the statement, does the government agree that it misled the Australian people during the election campaign in relation to: its intentions for new or expanded detention centres; addressing the unprecedented flow of boat arrivals; ruling out a carbon tax; and, indeed, promising to be open and transparent?
