Senator CASH (Western Australia—Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Employment and Minister for Women) (14:54): Again, unfortunately, with the way that Senator McKim has characterised his question, absolutely none of it relates to what this government is doing in supporting the PNG government. As I've stated, it is not a prison, and, Senator McKim, you know that torture can never be used. Quite frankly, it is an insult that you would even raise that. The PNG government, with the support of the Australian government, will close the Manus Island regional processing centre by the 31st— The PRESIDENT: Senator McKim on a point of order? Senator McKim: The point of order is on relevance. The two questions were abundantly clear and specific. Firstly, will the minister rule out the use of force to remove people from the Manus Island detention centre? And, secondly, will she explicitly rule out cutting off water and electricity to coerce people out? I'd ask you to remind her of the questions and urge her to answer them. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator McKim. In doing so, I will indicate that the minister was addressing points in your preamble. But, yes, I will remind the minister of the questions. Senator CASH: As Senator McKim well knows, anybody will be removed by lawful means. Senator McKim: So you won't rule out force and you won't rule out cutting off water and sewerage— The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator McKim! Do you have a final supplementary question? Senator McKim: This stuff just absolutely beggars belief, Mr President. The PRESIDENT: Your question, Senator McKim.
