Minister, both you here today and the Prime Minister have claimed that the people exiled to Manus Island six years ago are not in detention. If there are no detention centres, as you and the Prime Minister claim, what was that place with guards on the gate, with razor wire on the fences, that people are locked up in each and every night that I was denied entry to last week and, ultimately deported from Papua New Guinea for asking permission to enter? What exactly was that place?
