Senator Anning, I completely reject the proposition of your question that the Prime Minister has in any way accepted what you have proposed. The Prime Minister has made very clear his position in relation to border security. Our Prime Minister is the former minister for immigration. As the former minister for immigration and now in his role as the Prime Minister of Australia he has made it incredibly clear—very clear—to the Australian people that national security is the No. 1 concern of this government and it will continue to be. We will continue to put in place policies, as we have done for the entire time we have been elected, to ensure that the Australian people and the country of Australia are safe.
