My question is to the Leader of the Government representing the Prime Minister. Minister, the Acting Chief Migration Officer of Papua New Guinea, Solomon Kantha, has confirmed that 60 people who sought asylum from Australia and who have since been detained in the illegal detention centre on Manus Island will be forcibly deported from Papua New Guinea and that travel documents for this are currently being prepared. Is the government aware of this, and what representations, if any, have you made to the PNG government?
