Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I asked the minister whether she would consider the proposals put forward by refugee experts, including significantly increasing Australia's humanitarian intake. Another proposal they have put forward is to establish an Australian ambassador for refugee protection, to assist the government with high-level advocacy in the region. Could the minister respond to both those—increase in the intake and an Australian ambassador for refugee protection? Would you consider both or either of those?
