Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Given that following the government's announcement to reopen Nauru almost 2,000 people have continued to arrive on illegal boats, will the minister now concede that the government need to go beyond their half-hearted solution on our borders and reintroduce temporary protection visas and turn back the boats where it is safe to do so, otherwise people smugglers will still have a product to sell and the boats will keep coming?
