Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:24): Senator McKim, I am sorry: I am just not going to let you get away with continuing to utter falsehoods. You asserted in your question that the policies of this government have failed to deter people smugglers and failed to stop the boats. That is simply factually wrong. Since this government's policies came into effect after the election of the Abbott government in September of 2013, not a single asylum seeker vessel— The PRESIDENT: Pause the clock. Senator McKim. Senator McKim: The point of order is that the Attorney has misled the Senate. The Minister for Immigration and Border Protection made it clear in a media release last week that the people smugglers are still targeting Australia. The PRESIDENT: There is no point of order, Senator McKim. You are debating the point. Senator McKim: They are his own words. The PRESIDENT: There is no point of order. Senator BRANDIS: Senator McKim, that is not what you said. I am sure the people smugglers are still eager—very eager—to deliver their human traffic to Australia, but, as a result of the decisions of this government, they are being thwarted, they are being beaten and they are not succeeding in their intentions. That is as a result of the decisions this government has made, and, as a result, literally thousands of innocent lives have been saved.
