My question is to the Attorney-General representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. As we have already heard from the Attorney-General, today the High Court declared the way to remove 267 people from here in Australia and send them to Nauru. One of those people includes a five-year-old boy who was brought here because he was sexually assaulted during his time in detention on Nauru. He came here for medical treatment. Doctors have said this boy should not be returned to the island. Will the Prime Minister allow this boy to be sent to Nauru or will he allow him to stay?
