Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Is the minister aware of comments by a number of legal experts to the Senate inquiry into the government’s new migration legislation that the deployment of the Australian Navy to interdict asylum seekers and return them to Indonesia when carried out in respect of Indonesian nationals would be a clear breach of the refugee convention? Will the government seek specific advice on this issue?
