My question is to Senator Reynolds, the Minister representing the Minister for Home Affairs. The Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, the Rt Hon. James Marape, said today he would like to see 'the full closure of the entire asylum processes'. Prime Minister Marape has previously stated he wanted it to happen 'as soon as possible'. Can the minister detail what process the government will put in place to expedite a durable solution for refugees and asylum seekers on Manus Island?
