I thank Senator Keneally for that question. I would highlight firstly that nobody is in detention on Manus Island. I would highlight again that it wasn't those on this side who put people into detention. That was solely those on the other side—your problem. We have spent the last six years working cooperatively with the Papua New Guinean government, and again I extend our thanks for the way in which they have engaged on this issue. There is nobody in detention on Manus Island.
