My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer him to the interview with the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government on the ABC’s Lateline last night, in particular to the minister’s response to a question about whether the Australian government had a moral responsibility to ensure children aboard the Oceanic Viking would not be detained behind bars at the Tanjung Pinang detention centre. The minister’s answer was, ‘Well, Tony, what’s the moral issue?’ Will the Prime Minister guarantee that the children aboard the Oceanic Viking will not be detained behind bars?
