I address my question to the Prime Minister. Will the Prime Minister confirm that the Department of Immigration and Citizenship just last week established a regional displaced persons task force which has two months to come up with what they describe as ‘ideas on what kind of policies may be effective in stemming irregular migration’? Why was this task force not established before the government decided to soften the coalition’s border protection regime in August 2008?
