Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. It seems as though hypocrisy still reigns. My question is in relation to what the Prime Minister said today. This morning the Prime Minister said that Nauru would waste billions of dollars. How many billions of dollars will be saved by dumping offshore processing and instead assessing the claims of asylum seekers, in the words of the minister himself, 'fairly, swiftly and on Australian soil'?
