It is a fact that we provide health care on both Nauru and Manus Island. As I was saying, the Australian government has invested in excess of $1 billion of taxpayers' money for infrastructure projects in both Nauru and PNG. What does this actually include? It includes a new medical centre; it includes staff accommodation; it includes a logistics hub in PNG; and it also includes a hospital redevelopment and community resource centre in Nauru. But again we must not forget, Senator McKim, that the only reason anyone is on Manus or Nauru is the policies that you supported and that were put in place.
