Thank you, Senator McKim, for your question. I can confirm that there was a death of a nonrefugeein the Nauru Regional Processing Centre. The government extends its condolences to the family and friends of the individual. I can confirm that the government of Nauru is currently investigating the cause of death. I can also confirm that, in response to a request from the government of Nauru, the AFP is providing assistance to the government of Nauru in their investigations of this incident. I'm happy to provide that information for Senator McKim.
