My question is to the Prime Minister. Noting that the practice of detaining women and children asylum seekers in detention centres in Australia was begun by the Keating government in 1992 and was completely ended by the Howard government in 2005, and noting the Prime Minister’s savage condemnation of this past practice, will he guarantee that no women or children from the Oceanic Viking will be detained in the Indonesian detention centres behind bars and razor wire?
