I withdraw any imputation against Senator McKim that I may have made. The point I'm trying to make is these are very serious issues. Senator McKim knows that not only I but every member of the government takes these issues very seriously. That's why since taking office we have been putting so much effort into both third party resettlement and also the processing of people, thousands of people, who were left languishing on temporary protection visas when we took office. We will continue to do that, and we don't need these sorts of performances that are often undertaken in this chamber by the Greens.
