I'll take that interjection: 'They are not illegal refugees.' We have immigration policies. We have a right to control who comes into this country—that's what it's all about—to protect our identity and who we are as Australians. We have a right to say yes or no, and that's exactly what this chamber and the other place have tried to do. You apply to be a migrant to this country and you go through a process. That's the way it's done. You don't just have people coming here.

The Greens have just completely lost me. I wish people would really understand what they stand for. Every time they stand up in this chamber I don't hear them fighting for the Australian people at all—not at all. It's always about refugees, other countries and everyone else around the world. That's what you portray to the Australian people. I wish they really understood what you stand for. I don't believe that you fully represent the Australian people. You worry about everyone else but the Australian people.
