As I was saying, 35 minors have already been resettled in the US. Two minors settled in the US have since turned 18. There are currently 10 minors and their families residing in the family centre on Nauru. The remaining 110 minors live with their families in the community.

But I want to make clear that neither I nor any colleague on this side of the chamber will take an ethics lecture on regional processing from either the Australian Greens or the Australian Labor Party. It was not anyone on this side of the chamber that was responsible for the policies that saw 50,000 people arrive illegally on 800 boats.
