I am advised that the claims that Senator Abetz has been making around the Pontville-Brighton detention centre proposal are not correct. The government's commitment is to a short-term facility at Pontville. The immigration department is currently concluding relevant discussions around approval processes before further building and development of the site—which, as you know, is a former Army barracks—can continue.
