Mr ABBOTT (Warringah—Prime Minister) (14:56): The Leader of the Opposition should stop verballing the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Honourable members interjecting— Mr ABBOTT: He should stop verballing the Minister for Foreign Affairs. If he is going to quote the Minister for Foreign Affairs, he should quote her accurately and in full. The Minister for Foreign Affairs, critically— Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: There will be silence on my left. Mr ABBOTT: said it would depend on by whom it was raised. It is very telling that the Leader of the Opposition in his attempt to smear and character assassinate has omitted fully quoting and accurately quoting the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Ms Owens interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Parramatta has already been warned. Mr ABBOTT: While the Leader of the Opposition is engaged in character assassination and semiotic analysis of Senate estimates, this government is getting on with doing the right thing by the people of Australia. The right thing by the people of Australia was not to start the boats as Labor did but to stop the boats as this coalition did. The right thing by the people of Australia was not to put children into detention as Labor did but to release children from detention as this coalition did. This is a coalition which delivers good government— Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister will resume his seat. I have already said that those people who want an early mark can leave in a group. If there is an outbreak like that again then the group will leave. The Prime Minister has the call. Mr ABBOTT: It is precisely because the President of the Human Rights Commission was incapable of appreciating An opposition member interjecting— The SPEAKER: You want to be the first of the group? Mr ABBOTT: the difference between starting the boats and stopping the boats, the difference between putting people into detention and taking people out of detention—it is precisely because the President of the Human Rights Commission was incapable of understanding this distinction that this government has lost confidence in her. It is, in the end, a question of judgement which, I am afraid to say, the President of the Australian Human Rights Commission lamentably failed to demonstrate. But, oh no, members opposite are backing the lack of judgement shown on this very issue, because when it comes to putting children into detention and when it comes to putting people at risk of drowning at sea, that mob opposite are the guilty party! That is what they are—they are the guilty party. I stand by the Attorney-General, I stand by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and I absolutely stand by the Secretary of the Attorney-General's Department.
