My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Senator Carr. I refer to the current Prime Minister's statement on radio 6PR on 8 July 2010 in which, when com­menting on regional processing centres, she stated:

I would rule out anywhere that is not a signatory to the Refugee Convention.

With the announcement by the government of its people-swap deal with Malaysia, isn't this just another example of the Prime Minister saying one thing to win an election and then going back on her word once in power?
