Senator McKim, I think the last point I made in response to your previous question must have missed you, so let me just say it again. The people on Manus Island and Nauru who we are dealing with and seeking to resettle are people who were put there not by this government but by the previous, Labor government.

Now, Senator McKim, you inquire about the terms of the arrangements. The terms of the arrangements were announced by the Prime Minister and the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection last Sunday week, and effect will be given to those arrangements in the near future.
