The government will not be supporting this motion because it is factually incorrect. The Australian government will be resettling UNHCR approved refugees from Indonesia after 1 July this year. What the Australian government will not be doing is putting ideology ahead of people's lives, which is exactly what Senator Hanson-Young and the Australian Greens have done in pursuing their continued advocacy for policies that led to the loss of over 1,200 people who died at sea.
