My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to this advertisement in the Northern Territory to recruit staff to the Northern Immigration Detention Centre in Darwin, which has been confirmed as the location for transferring detainees when Christmas Island reaches capacity. After 24 unauthorised boat arrivals in just 10 weeks, when does the government expect it will be transferring detainees from Christmas Island to Darwin, so ending the Prime Minister’s commitment to offshore processing?
