The government concedes that it continues to clean up the incredible mess created by the former Labor government, hand in hand with decisions supported by the Australian Greens. The government concedes that it was elected in 2013 by the Australian people on a very, very clear policy to restore integrity to Australia's borders. The government concedes that it has done exactly that. The government concedes that it has been in excess of 1,000 days without a boat arrival. For the benefit of Senator Di Natale, the government concedes that since we cleaned up the mess created directly by the decisions of Senator Di Natale and the Australian Greens all of the children that Senator Di Natale was responsible for putting into detention have been released from detention by this government. The government concedes that 1,200 people were killed at sea by decisions made by Senator Di Natale. (Time expired)
