Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Finance, Minister for Women, Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Vice-President of the Executive Council) (14:03): I thank Senator Paterson for the question. The policy of Operation Sovereign Borders hasn't changed. It remains in place. The same policy the former government had remains the policy of this government, and it is working. It's protecting borders, it's combating people smuggling and it's preventing lives being lost at sea. Where we do have a boat arrive, as we saw in the last week or so, those people are removed from this country, and they will not resettle in this country. But we are fixing up a broken immigration system. The PRESIDENT: Senator Paterson, on a point of order? Senator Paterson: The question was about Labor's commitment to abolish temporary protection visas. The minister has not mentioned the words 'temporary protection visas' or even attempted to answer the question. The PRESIDENT: Senator Paterson, there was an opening statement by you on that, and the minister is responding appropriately. Minister Gallagher. Senator GALLAGHER: As I said, Operation Sovereign Borders policy architecture remains unchanged, and I would again remind those who seek to politicise this issue—as we understand the opposition always seeks to do; it's their default position—of the comments from the Commander Joint Agency Task Force, Operation Sovereign Borders, which say that 'any alternate narrative will be exploited by others'— (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Paterson, a second supplementary?
