Again I reiterate to the Senate that, as this matter is before the High Court, it would clearly be inappropriate for me to comment, but I will say: please be assured that those on this side of the chamber have complete, total and utter faith in the good men and women of Customs and Border Protection, who are the people on the ground—not us here—that every single day ensure that Australia's borders are kept secure. I say thank you to the men and women of Customs and Border Protection and, quite frankly, Senator Hanson-Young, to insinuate that they are in any way not caring for people is demeaning.
