Sen ator CASH (Western Australia—Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:43): Senator Thorpe, I completely, totally and utterly reject your statement that the Prime Minister has lied. There are many things you can say about the Prime Minister, but he is a man who, when minister for immigration, was responsible for some of the strongest border protection policies this country will ever see. As we move towards the next election—which, as we know, is in but a few months—this question highlights the fundamental difference, for all Australians, between the attitude of the Australian Greens, in coalition with the Australian Labor Party, and the attitude of the coalition government. Again, we will never make excuses for protecting Australia and Australians. The PRESIDENT: Senator Thorpe, a second supplementary question?
