I have to say, Senator Hanson-Young's comments in relation to the government of Cambodia and the people of Cambodia are quite frankly demeaning. Australia and Cambodia, as Senator Hanson-Young would well be aware, are both signatories to the refugee convention and they both share a common commitment to achieving humanitarian outcomes for their region. The minister will be visiting Cambodia tomorrow and, on completion of the minister's meeting, the details of any arrangement will be announced. But I do reiterate for the Senate that Cambodia is a signatory to the refugee convention and at all times shares a strong commitment to ensuring that the rights of refugees are upheld.
