Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (15:02): Senator McKim, first of all, the urgency of the situation demands the urgent response which I've outlined in answer to your primary question. The government is presently not minded to accede to calls, including those from you and Senator Di Natale, for increases in the humanitarian intake. But, as you know, Senator, we do operate a most generous humanitarian refugee program.
