Thank you very much, Mr President. I feel cheated, and so do the people of Australia, that they have not been able to have their voice heard in this place with regard to this. They're shutting down debate on this, which is such a very important issue. People stand up and talk about national security, but they're not prepared to actually debate it and talk about the issues that are happening. There are 483 unauthorised maritime arrivals on Nauru and a further 607 males on Manus Island. You are more concerned about the people over there then you are about the people here in Australia. I hear the debate in this place about the children. You're worried about children. I'm worried about children first, but would you please go and have an understanding of what's happening to the children in the Northern Territory with the sexual abuse that is happening to them—
