Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Minister, I can read what is on the public record, but doesn’t the fact that there have been 32 boats and more than 1,500 unlawful arrivals since August last year prove that, far from toughening border protection laws, as the Prime Minister promised, the government has softened the laws and reneged on the policy commitments that the Prime Minister repeatedly outlined?
