The coalition will not be supporting this motion because we do not want to jeopardise the government's arrangement with Nauru, which has been negotiated in good faith. We note Labor's hypocrisy in opposing this motion, given they teamed up with the Greens in 2017 to vote for the production of a similar agreement between Australia and the United States regarding the resettlement of refugees. This is just another double standard when it comes to Labor and government transparency.
