Senator CASH (Western Australia—Minister for Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:39): Senator McKim, you mentioned Nauru and Manus Island. For your benefit, because clearly you've forgotten why people are on Nauru and Manus Island—just to remind you—it is because you supported the failed border protection policies of the former Labor government. You see, colleagues, when we came into office— The PRESIDENT: Senator McKim on a point of order. Senator McKim: Predictably, it's on relevance, Mr President. Yes, the word 'Nauru' was in my question, but the sordid and shameful history of Australia's offshore detention policies is not relevant in any way. An honourable senator interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! I will make the rulings, if people don't mind. On the point of order: a small amount of historic context is directly relevant. It would not be appropriate for it to form the bulk of the answer to the question or a substantive part of the answer to the question. I think it is reasonable to have some historic context, but to be directly relevant it must directly address a substantive part of the question. You have reminded the minister of that, Senator McKim, and I call the minister to continue her answer. Senator CASH: As I was saying, the only reason Senator McKim is able to ask his question today is that he supported the failed policies of the former Labor government. In relation to the New Zealand refugee resettlement offer, the Prime Minister and the Minister for Home Affairs have made it very clear that we appreciate the offer from the New Zealand government to resettle refugees. However, as you know, Senator McKim, we remain focused on completing the United States resettlement arrangement. Clearly, you know the answer—you're sitting there shaking your head! The US arrangement—for your benefit, Senator McKim—is actually progressing well, with 876 refugees resettled to date and further departures expected in the coming weeks and months. The PRESIDENT: Senator McKim, a supplementary question?
