There is a fundamental difference between those on this side when it comes to border protection and those on the other side encouraged so aptly by the Australian Greens—that is, we believe in resolve. We say we are going to implement policies that will restore integrity to Australia's borders and that is exactly what we do, despite at every turn being faced with opposition by the Australian Labor Party and the Australian Greens. Who can forget the 11 different policy solutions that the former government allegedly had? They flip-flopped from policy failure to policy failure. Who can forget the greatest policy failure of all, which were the words of former Minister for Immigration and Citizenship Senator Chris Evans when he said that the proudest moment of his political career was unwinding the former Howard government's Pacific Solution. We all know what happened there and it will not be happening again under our watch. (Time expired)
