—My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister, again, to last night’s report on 60 Minutes and the revelations from self-proclaimed people smugglers that, in taking asylum seekers to Australia, they do not seek to reach the Australian mainland but instead deliberately seek to be intercepted by Australian maritime patrols. Has the Prime Minister received advice that confirms people smugglers are now deliberately seeking to be picked up by Australian maritime patrols?
