Mr BANDT (Melbourne) (14:23): My question is to the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection. Minister, you said that you could guarantee the safety of refugees under Australia's care at Manus Island if they remained in the detention centre and acted cooperatively. Given consistent reports that refugee Reza Berati was doing exactly that when he was beaten to death, is it not now clear that your commitment is worthless and that you cannot guarantee their safety? Or is the brutality at Manus Island simply another plank in your policy of deterring vulnerable people who are seeking our protection? The SPEAKER: Before I call the minister, the last part of the question was coming very close to being a reflection on a member. However, with that reservation, if the minister is happy to answer it I will give him the call. But I would suggest that in future the member may choose to word it differently.
