Mr ABBOTT (Warringah—Leader of the Opposition) (14:03): My question is to the Acting Prime Minister. I remind him that, when the Howard government advised it would send asylum seekers to Nauru, the number of illegal arrivals dropped by two-thirds in a month. Yet, since this government's backflip on offshore processing, there has been a record 2,219 arrivals. When will the government— Mr Albanese: Madam Deputy Speaker, on a point of order: the Leader of the Opposition is misleading the House with the term he is using and he should not be allowed to do so. The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Ms AE Burke ): The Leader of the House will resume his seat. The Leader of the Opposition will begin his answer again. Mr ABBOTT: I remind the Acting Prime Minister that, when the Howard government announced it would send asylum seekers to Nauru, the number of illegal arrivals dropped by two-thirds in a month. Yet, since this government's backflip on offshore processing, there has been a record 2,219 arrivals. When will this government face the truth that it must reintroduce temporary protection visas and turn boats around when it is safe to do so if the people smugglers are to be defeated?
