Mr President, I ask the minister a further supplementary question. Why did the Gillard Labor government dismantle the proven border protection policies of the former Howard government which stopped the boats and cost taxpayers less than $100 million per year? When will this government adopt the coalition's amendment to the Migration Act which would restore offshore processing to Nauru and to Manus Island whilst preserving basic human rights protections for people sent offshore?
