House debates Questions without Notice
Asylum Seekers
Sharman Stone Murray, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Immigration and Citizenship

My question is directed to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to his persistent denial of a special deal to entice the 78 asylum seekers from the Oceanic Viking. Is the Prime Minister aware of the following answer from his immigration minister when he was asked today on radio if the terms of the resolution are unique. He said:
Well, they are unique in the sense that there is an agreement between the Indonesian government and Australia to resolve a particular unusual circumstance.
Does the Prime Minister continue to deny there was a special deal to provide fast-track access to settlement in Australia?
