My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Evans. Minister, we have just seen Labor and the coalition vote on legislation to expel refugees, including children, offshore with no protections and no time limit. One member of the coalition has labelled this as 'open-ended exile'. The question to the minister is: does the government agree with the coalition that 10 years is an acceptable length of time for refugees to be dumped on Nauru or Manus Island?
