Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Given Minister Bowen's continued commitment to offshore processing as the government's preferred policy option, when will the government finally admit that if it supports the coalition's amendments to the migration bill it could legislate the Prime Minister's own commitment before the last election for offshore processing only in countries that have signed the refugee convention and establish offshore processing in 148 countries, including reopening the Australian taxpayer funded processing centres on Nauru and Manus Island immediately?
