I rise also to take note of answers and, most particularly, to refute some of the comments that Senator Gallacher made in relation to his commentary on Nauru. The inquiry that was established by the opposition and their Green alliance partners was a politically-motivated one. It was done to advance Labor's Left and Green opposition to Operation Sovereign Borders, which has stopped the boats. I know that they do not like that, but the reality is that the boats have been stopped and lives have been saved.
