The coalition will not be supporting the Migration Amendment (Visa Maximum Numbers Determinations) Bill 2013, as has been laid out by the minister quite eloquently. I want to address some of the arguments that we have been hearing from the other side, particularly the Greens, in relation to this space but also the complicity of the Labor Party and the Greens in relation to the issue of temporary protection visas. I want to go through a number of the points that have been made by Senator Hanson-Young and Senator Ludlam in defence of their argument and in defence of their view of how immigration should occur in this country. This Greens view of the world is a view that we utterly reject. It has been proven to fail time and time again.
