Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I refer the minister to the statement of the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship on 17 September 2010 where he stated:

In coming weeks, I will be reviewing the longer-term detention accommodation needs and taking steps to ensure appropriate arrangements are in place to meet ongoing and longer-term requirements.

Does the Gillard government have any plans to further increase the capacity of any detention centre either onshore or offshore and, if so, where, when and by how many places?
