Senator Nettle, I find it hard to imagine that you are wondering that, because you have had a long interest in this area and you have had plenty of opportunity to ask millions of questions at estimates hearings, and you would be well aware of the fact that we take advice from the UNHCR as to from where we take the people most in need. And you would be familiar with the broad outlines that have been covered at estimates on numerous occasions when you have been there—namely, that about 70 per cent of our case load comes from Africa, and the remaining case load comes from a range of other places. If you want to put a specific question about a specific camp, as opposed to any other, I am happy to take it on notice and get the answer for you.
