Senator Muir, we do not run a running commentary in relation to Operation Sovereign Borders. It was those on the other side who quite literally had no choice but to issue a running commentary, because they had boat after boat after boat arriving and were literally releasing press releases every single day. We have a communications protocol in place and, consistent with that communications protocol, Minister Dutton actually did address this issue with Lieutenant General Angus Campbell on 28 January 2015 at the OSB update for January, in which he confirmed that the government had honoured the commitment with the crossbenchers.
