My question is again to the Prime Minister. I refer to his answer to my previous question and the correspondence to which it related. Is it not the fact that, far from the 22 asylum seekers who have left the Oceanic Viking being treated, as he states, ‘in a manner consistent with the treatment of any other asylum seeker in Indonesia’, they are in fact being treated in a wholly inconsistent manner, because they are the only refugees in Indonesia to whom the Australian government has guaranteed resettlement within four to six weeks? Why won’t the Prime Minister come clean on his special deal?
