My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to reports that the asylum seekers from the Oceanic Viking will be separated from other inmates at the Tanjung Pinang detention centre because of growing resentment and tension about the preferential treatment of the Oceanic Viking asylum seekers. Will the Prime Minister confirm that the new fast-track access policy for some asylum seekers includes special protection in the detention centres?
