My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to her statement earlier today, when she said, 'We have always, in the Malaysia arrangement, made sure that those obligations in the refugee convention and a number of others besides would be honoured.' I ask the Prime Minister: how can she ensure that obligations will be honoured when they are not required to be legally binding under the amendments that she is proposing to the Migration Act?
