Senator CASH (Western Australia—Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Employment and Minister for Women) (14:23): In relation to the premise of Senator Di Natale's question that this particular individual was imprisoned, I clearly refute that premise. In relation to the death that Senator Di Natale is referring to, obviously I regret to inform the Senate of the death. The incident is currently under investigation by the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary, and I understand the incident will be investigated by the Papua New Guinea coroner's office. The PRESIDENT: Senator Di Natale, a point of order. Senator Di Natale: President, this was a very narrow question and it related— Senator Ian Macdonald: What's your point of order? Senator Di Natale: To relevance. It related specifically to the requests the government received from medical authorities, from doctors, wanting this man to be evacuated from Manus Island, and those requests being refused by your government, by the Liberal Party, by Minister Dutton. What were the grounds for those requests being refused? The PRESIDENT: In answering that question, the minister has indicated the matter is currently under investigation by the Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary. In that answer, I interpret that the minister will give you as much detail as she can. I invite the minister to conclude her remarks. A further point of order, Senator Di Natale? Senator Di Natale: A further point of order: the Papua New Guinea Constabulary are not going to be determining the number of requests to the Australian government. The PRESIDENT: Order! You're debating the issue, Senator Di Natale. I can only entertain a point of order in relation to relevance, if you want to continue. Senator Di Natale: How many requests did the government receive? That's independent of any investigation. The PRESIDENT: This is now a matter for the minister, and the minister has heard your point of order. I will call the minister. Senator CASH: Had Senator Di Natale given me but an additional second, I would have gone on to say: given the investigations, I am sure that Senator Di Natale understands that it would be inappropriate for me to make any further comments at this stage. However, I can assure the Senate that health care is provided to all transferees on Manus Island. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Minister. Senator Di Natale, a further supplementary question?
