Senator ABETZ (Tasmania—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service and Minister for Employment) (14:13): With all of these situations it is vitally important to get all the factual information. Senator Hanson-Young: That's why I am asking you. Senator ABETZ: What I would say is that on the information that I have in front of me there is no basis for the claims that up to 12 women have attempted suicide at Christmas Island detention facilities. Senator Hanson-Young: How many then? Senator ABETZ: If you were genuine about this issue without wanting to play raw politics surely you would allow me to get at least more than one sentence out in an answer, I would have thought. A small number of minor self-harm incidents have recently occurred and those involved are receiving proper and appropriate medical and other support. It would not be appropriate to go into further detail about the incidents or the individual circumstances of these detainees.
