As the opposition well knows, our plans are well underway in Nauru. This has been canvassed several times through the course of various debates and conversations across this chamber, and we are on track for achieving the goals that the minister outlined.

The issue, though, is one of the failure of the opposition in the spirit of their support for the legislation, to continue to pick apart the principles that underpin what we are trying to achieve by placing people on Nauru. The issue at stake is that the Labor government is trying to take the politics out of this issue. We have listened to the expert advice and now we are putting in place the operations needed to successfully implement that.
