Senator McKIM (Tasmania) (14:19): Was there any extra financial consideration as a result of any discussions between the minister and the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea? And, given that you are now returning people home to their countries of origin, what assurances can you give that people you have assisted to return home were of sound mind when they made the decision—given that you have tortured them and harmed them for four years? Senator Abetz: That has to be withdrawn. The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator McKim, that is an allegation I think you need to withdraw—that last part of your question. Senator McKIM: Sorry, President, I didn't hear what you just said. The PRESIDENT: Senator McKim, if I heard you correctly, you accused the minister of acts that are certainly very unparliamentary. I ask that you withdraw the last element of your question. Senator McKIM: President, I seek your guidance here, because Amnesty International found that, in fact, the Australian government has tortured asylum seekers. That's what I am relying on. The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator McKim, you have made an accusation against a minister of the Crown, which is unparliamentary. It would assist if you would withdraw that portion of your question. Senator McKIM: Because you have asked, President, I withdraw, but I substitute: 'alleged tortures'. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator McKim.
