Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate, Vice-President of the Executive Council, Minister for Arts and Attorney-General) (14:19): Senator Di Natale, with respect, that is an astonishing question. Do I have evidence that the captain of a people smuggler vessel is an unreliable witness? Yes, I do. Do you know what that evidence is? It is because the man is the captain of a people smuggler vessel. The man is a person engaged in earning his living from the misery of other human beings and accepting a very large sum of money from it. Honourable senators interjecting— Senator BRANDIS: That is my evidence. As Senator Macdonald interjected before, perhaps you should stick to medicine. Because if you do not think that that is pretty compelling evidence that that particular man's assertions and allegations should at least be treated with scepticism then, Senator Di Natale, you must come from another planet.
