Sorry, Minister, but that is not really the case. If you're honest with yourself and you go back and look at Hansard, time and again in the comments that you have made you have used the words “illegal” and “irregular” interchangeably, to the detriment of the asylum seekers.
Now I want to turn to another issue. On the safe third country agreement, we just heard the story of Mr. Seidu Mohammed, who had to cross over. He risked life and limb to do so. He had other people who crossed over irregularly as well. As someone who has lived that journey, today he has called for the government to suspend the safe third country agreement. Is that something you will consider doing?
