House debates Questions without Notice
Asylum Seekers

My question is to the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection. I refer to the removal of automatic visa on arrival for Iranians arriving in Indonesia. How has this measure contributed to the reduction in asylum seeker vessels coming to Australia? Can the minister assure the House that this arrangement will continue?

I can assure the shadow minister that it remains in place and we remain absolutely confident that it will remain in place.
