My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. My question is in relation to the legislation the government plans to ram through the parliament this week to give the government the power to continue detaining people on Nauru and Manus Island. Given the government's urgency for this legislation, will the minister admit that this means Australia has been illegally detaining men, women and children in squalid detention camps for the last three years?
