My question is to the Prime Minister. Under John Howard's Pacific solution, refugees were detained on Nauru for many years, in some cases for as long as four years. Under your new Pacific solution, how long will refugees be detained on Nauru? Will there be legal guarantees that refugees will not be detained for as long as or even longer than under John Howard's regime?
