I do note the longstanding interest of the shadow minister in the views of the UN. I think the shadow minister should be well aware of the obligations under 198AB and 198AC of the Migration Act, which require me to consult with the United Nations. I have a statutory obligation to do that. I assume she is aware that I did that, because I tabled a statement to that effect in the parliament on Tuesday. I met the obligations set out for me in the act, and this problem was fixed on Tuesday.
