Under the Howard government there were 11,000 TPVs issued. Of those, 9,800 were made permanent. This demonstrates, on the historic record, that overwhelming numbers of people on TPVs deserved to have permanency. These sets of amendments put our long- and well-held view of the failure of this TPV regime, and I would urge the Senate to support them.
