I make this point, and I've made it publicly before: I haven't put anyone on Manus Island; you did. I am charged with getting those people off, and I'm doing it. This government—not the government that you were in coalition with, the Rudd and the Gillard governments—has brokered a deal to get 1,200 people off Manus and Nauru. So, if you don't mind, I'm not going to take a morals lecture from you, because the fact is that you are responsible for more deaths than you realise. That's the reality for the Greens. They can come in and moralise all they want—I find it completely unacceptable, Mr Speaker. I would ask that the unparliamentary language that the member for Lilley has used be withdrawn. I find his comments highly offensive.
