Senator CASH (Western Australia—Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Employment and Minister for Women) (14:16): I thank Senator McKim for his question. In relation to the first part of your question where you referred to crises, I absolutely dispute that. The only crisis, as you and I both know, was one created a number of years ago now, when you joined with the former Labor government to roll back the former Howard government's strong border protection policies which then resulted in the situation where we are today. In relation to that particular crisis, may I again remind you that, when we were elected to office in 2013, we had a job on our hands to clean up your mess: 50,000 people had arrived here by boat, and 1,200 people had died at sea. The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator McKim on a point of order. Senator McKim: The point of order is relevance. I acknowledge that I asked a number of questions in my preliminary question, but I will make the point that none of those questions, in any way, went to the historically inaccurate information Senator Cash is currently putting before the Senate. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: There were seven elements to your question, Senator McKim, so it's quite lengthy. The minister has been on topic, but I will remind the minister of the seven elements of your question. Senator CASH: As I was stating, 1,200 people died at sea and in excess of 8,000 children were put behind bars in detention and whom this government released. In relation to the allegations that you have made in terms of the incident on Manus Island, again, they are currently the subject of an investigation by the Papua New Guinean coroner's office and, as such, it would be inappropriate for me to make any further comment at this stage. The PRESIDENT: Senator McKim, a supplementary question.
