My question is to the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection. The islands of Saibai, Poruma and Warraber in the Torres Strait are at risk because of sea level rise caused by climate change. What does the minister say to the residents of the Torres Strait, near our border with Papua New Guinea, who are facing the same risks as our Pacific neighbours who are seeking action so that migration does not become their only option?
