Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I refer to the Prime Minister's statement when shadow minister for immigration: 'Another boat arrival, another policy failure.' Given that one of the many reasons for the political execution of former Prime Minister Rudd was that he had failed to stop the boats, does the minister agree that 18,145 people arriving on 282 boats since Ms Gillard became Prime Minister is a gross failure by her in this important policy area?
