My question is to the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Senator Evans. I refer to the 20 vessels and the 714 people who have reached Australia since Labor softened our border protection laws. When will the minister accept the obvious and concede that the surge in illegal people-smuggling activities is a direct result of policy changes?
