My question is again to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Prime Minister’s failure to tell the House when the border protection subcommittee met to determine the terms of the offer to the asylum seekers on the Oceanic Viking, when the offer was actually communicated to them, whether he was consulted about the terms of the offer prior to the meeting of the subcommittee, whether he was advised of its terms prior to it being made to the people on the Oceanic Viking, whether the decision of the subcommittee was minuted and when or whether he read it. Given these are very simple factual questions, Prime Minister, why won’t you answer them?
