My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the statement by former Western Australia Labor Premier Geoff Gallop last Friday:

I'd be talking to the Liberals about getting Nauru to work. I think that's the only sustainable position.

If Dr Gallop and members of the Labor caucus admit that the best option to restart offshore processing immediately is Nauru, why does the Prime Minister refuse to accept her own colleagues' advice?
