Mr President, I raise a point of order on relevance. What the Attorney has done is set up a straw man here, and then he is furiously knocking it down. But, in fact, the question was very clear: has Papua New Guinea asked Australia to resettle genuine refugees, as publicly stated by the PNG foreign minister yesterday, and what is the Australian government doing to resettle refugees from Manus Island and Nauru? The question did not contain an assertion that Australia was torturing anybody.
