My question is to the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship. Minister, why is the offshore processing bill, the Migration Legislation Amendment (The Bali Process) Bill 2012 passed by the House last night, so important for saving lives and breaking the people-smugglers' business model? What compromises have been put on the table to assist the bill's passage through both houses of parliament?
