Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. With the signing by Nauru of the United Nations refugee convention and the fact that Malaysia is not a signatory to the convention, when will the government admit that Nauru is a more humane, cost-effective and proven option as an asylum seeker processing centre com­pared to Labor's still unsigned people-swap deal with Malaysia? In relation to the minister's statement, is the statement made by the Prime Minister of Malaysia worth more than a statement made by the Prime Minister of this country?
