Mr President, I rise in point of order. It is pretty obvious that my point of order goes to relevance or, rather, irrelevance where the minister is concerned. The minister is clearly reading the wrong brief, because he is not answering the question that I asked. My question was directly related to a statement made by the Prime Minister on radio 6PR on 8 July 2010, where she stated:

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

In relation to the deal with Malaysia, isn't this just another example of the Prime Minister going back on her word?
