I do have to say that I sometimes wonder whether you think there are any people in your constituency who are Australian citizens and would benefit from your time and attention as opposed to citizens of the world at large. It is up to you to choose where you put your efforts. I have already made it clear that there are concerns about the Burmese human rights record. That is why this government has increased its intake from I think fewer than 20 a few years ago up to 900 in the last financial year and I think 1,500 in the next financial year. I thought that was as clear as a bell. There is agreement on that issue. As to the specifics of these particular people and the Malaysian government, I will look at what you say and, if there is anything I want to add, I will come back to you.
