Asylum Seekers


Mr HOCKEY (North Sydney) (15:17): My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister confirm in this House that all the terms of the agreement with Malaysia, written and unwritten, on a people swap have been publicly disclosed by the government? Prime Minister, were there any other matters agreed with Malaysia during the negotiations for that agreement?


Ms GILLARD (LalorPrime Minister) (15:17): We published our arrangement with Malaysia. We published the Solicitor-General's advice post the High Court case. We have made available to the Leader of the Opposition a briefing from experts. We will make available a briefing on the legislation. What we now need is the opposition to absorb the facts and to stop pretending they do not exist.
